## Narrative

While the driller was cycling a core tube down, standing on the helper deck a 5' rod in the rod rack started to slide to the other end of the rod rack. The driller turned around and tried to stop the sliding rod when 2 other rods slid against the first one pinning the driller hand between the rod and rod rock causing lacerations to the left fingers.
