Narrative

A Technician was using a bar to hold the bolt into place so they could attach the nut to the end of a bolt. While screwing the nut to the bolt, the bar slipped. This caused the bolt and attached nut to drop, pinching the Technicians left 5th finger in between the drag case and the nut. This split the Technicians skin on their finger requiring 4 stitches.
