Narrative

Installed engine and removed turnbuckles from lifting jig. Lifting jig got hung up on horse collar. Wiggled jig with both hands to try to get jig free. Jig started to move but got hung up again. Wiggled it and jig moved sideways, as I was moving out of the way of the jig it popped loose moving very fast and caught my right hand pinky finger.
