Narrative

There were 4 employees trying to get the panbolter up to the tailgate. It kept getting hung up on the spilltray. The employee tried to place a cap piece between the pan bolter and the spilltray. The panbolter moved and swung back against the spilltray hitting the cap piece, causing the cap to pinch the employee's left thumb against the spill tray.
