Narrative

The #3 boom boat loading sock counterweight was stuck in the up position and needed to be freed up. The employee decided to pull on the cable to free the counterweight. When the counterweight broke free it pulled employee's hand towards the pulley. This resulted in cutting the tip of the pinky off.
