Narrative

EE was lowering power cable standards at the mine view. The winch was hung up not allowing the cables to come down to the ground. EE tried to manually move/rotate the winch by hand when the winch released causing the EE's gloves to get caught in outside gear. Resulted in right middle and ring finger getting pinched in the spool/gear.
