## Narrative

A rock was lodged between the tailgate and the bed of the truck. Pulled the locking pin, the bolder dislodged and tailgate dropped. He thought his hand was clear of the latch, but it was not. Skin on R finger was torn, and required stitches to repair. No days lost. Came right back to work the same day after repair.
