Narrative

The pin on the slot wrench broke while making a connection. The driller asked the helper to move the wrench back into place by hand. After doing so the driller placed hand back on the controls to move the hydraulic ram. Then the helper moved hand back onto the wrench as the ram moved, pinching EE's finger.
