## Narrative

Employees were using a winch to pick up an impeller when the chain got hung up on a bolt stud.  The chain popped off of where it was hung at the same time as the employee put his hand onto the pipe to brace himself.  At that moment the chain hit the pipe where the employee hand was resulting in lacerations to the left index finger.
