Narrative

The employee had his left hand resting on an eyelet on the launch. The trolly operator lowered the trolly to pick up the next beam. The trolly creates down pressure the pick up process. This down pressure forces the eyelet to raise and as this took place the finger was smashed between the eyelet and the mono-rail.
