Narrative

EE was loading the table in the jag shop with slabs of rock. There were two slabs on the table, the top one was not setting flat. EE then picked up the top slab with a rock bar to get the small rocks out from under it. The rock bar slipped off crushing two fingers under the slab on EE's left hand.
