Narrative

Bates Contractor was installing wire mesh. He drilled his hole, put the glue and bolt in the hole and dropped it down to the drill chuck. He stated it didn't line up and was fouled to turn by hand so he bumped the rotation and it twisted his hand around the roof bolt. This resulted in dislocation to the left ring and pinky fingers and a laceration requiring stitches to his pinky.
