Narrative

Supervisor was in the loader picking up on the fifth wheel base to take pressure off of the shaft to remove the tail pulley stand base. Employee figured they could use the 1/4 bolt on the one side of the shaft for leverage to remove the shaft from the base. As they picked up with the loader to remove the pressure it smashed employee's finger between the bolt head and stand base.
