Narrative

Employee was helping pull the head shaft out of the feeder. The right side slid and came out sooner than the left side causing the right side to drop suddenly and the left side to rise up. The event pinched EE's wrist between the head shaft and the frame of the feeder resulting in a fracture to right wrist.
