## Narrative

EE stated they lost balance on workboat causing them to try and catch themselves.  When their hand was placed on the deck, it apparently was underneath the mooring rope and the workboat deck potentially causing the rope to crush EE's right hand. *EE's middle finger was removed during surgery.
