Narrative

EE was in the process of knocking a hole in a stopping to push props through. As EE took a swing at the stopping with the sledge hammer the head of the hammer went through the hole causing EE to smash left ring finger between the block wall and the handle of the sledge hammer. This resulted in a fracture to the tip of left ring finger.
