Narrative

A mine mechanic was attempting to drive out the front pivot pin from a roof bolter using a 20# sledgehammer and a T-handle drift pin. The employee missed a swing, which resulted in the employee's right index finger getting caught between the handle of the sledgehammer and the drift pin. The finger was lacerated along the top and required 7 stitches.
