Narrative

Worker was operating a guillotine stone splitter. While adjusting a stone with worker's hand to be split, the worker pressed the pedal to lower the guillotine down to split the stone, and the machine came down on worker's hand. This resulted in a severe laceration on the top and bottom of the hand, wrist dislocation, and bone fractures.
