Narrative

EE was putting up the pressure washer wand when it slipped out of hand. EE reacted by trying to catch it which placed the left hand over the nozzle while the handle of the wand hit the ground. When the handle hit the ground, the water left under pressure in the hose released which caused a laceration to EE's left, middle finger.
