Narrative

IW was in the process of pulling out a core tube. IW was holding the latch head of the tube while the other helper was disconnecting the overshot. Once the overshot was released from the tube, the tube fell back down into the rods. IW did not let go of the latch head fast enough and left thumb and right middle finger both suffered lacerations that required sutures.
