Narrative

The maintenance crew was installing new blow bars and rotor in the Universal 130/150. The rotor was out of balance due to the blow bars opposite of 5 & 6 were not yet installed. EE removed the blocking from the rotor, control was lost and the rotor rotated. EE tried to stop the rotor and got arm caught. This resulted in a laceration on each side of EE's forearm.
