## Narrative

An employee was removing a shuttle car tire to work on the steering. He removed all the lug nuts and separated the wheel from the hub, 4 to 6 inches. Picking up the tire with both hands, the rim and tire slid back toward the hub and his finger was smashed between the tire and a wheel stud.
