## Narrative

Employee observed a large rock going through the feeder that was going to contact the ""dead-man"" cable going across the feeder. EE attempted to hold the lever that is pulled into the e-stop to avoid the feeder from stopping, but the rock hit the cable & pulled the lever mashing EE's finger between the lever & the e-stop causing it to fracture the end of EE's little ""pinky"" finger.
