## Narrative

I was cutting a ""C"" channel while in a man basket. At the end of the cut the material folded and caused the grinder wheel to backlash and cut my finger. My helper witnessed the cut. I saw the laceration and knew I needed stitches. I drove myself to the emergency room and received three stitches on my right hand index finger.
