Narrative

EE was using a winch (model 492) to back off the gravity take up weight when the winch handle slipped out of EE's hand while changing hands. The winch handle then spun around and the handle hit just above EE's right wrist. The handle was free spinning once EE's hand slipped off of it. Right wrist has a fracture of the ulna bone. Injury not in a cast but splint.
