## Narrative

IE was installing bottom belt rollers during a section belt move. Boat winches are used to lift the bottom belt for installation of the rollers. With the bottom belt lifted and the winches under load, the locking switch was inadvertently released allowing the winch handle to rapidly release causing the handle to strike the right hand of the IE.
