## Narrative

Employee was assisting another employee with the dovetail of a trailer to add an extension to lengthen the trailer when the incident occurred. There is a handle on the dovetail but it was stuck so employees put hands underneath to pull up on it and the stand that is underneath came swinging back pinching employee's left middle finger. This resulted in a nine stitch repair.
