Narrative

EE was preparing to grease a bearing on a belt roller and while doing so, the hose of the grease gun accidentally got caught between the roller and the belt. When this happened, it also pulled his right little finger in between the roller and belt resulting in a fracture and tissue damage to the tip of the finger.
