Narrative

After tripping out, locked bit in centralizer and spun bit off rod. Noticed that the pin end of the rod was braking off and went to check it. Didn't notice that rod was barely hanging onto the striker bar. Stuck finger under the rod to check and the rod fell off the striker bar and pinned the finger between the rod and the bit that was in the centralizer.
