## Narrative

IE was loading roof mats three at a time into the bed of a coal hauler. As IE was sliding the roof mats into the bed, the bottom roof mat dropped down catching the lip of the false bottom. This caused the top two roof mats to slide forward catching IE's index finger in between the top two roof mats and the bottom roof mat. IE received an avulsion that took 11 sutures to close.
