Narrative

The pin on the rental excavator was walking out the wishbone, operator was holding the pin in place while maintenance guy was trying to realign the bearings. The mechanic asked the operator to pull the pin out a little and they pulled it all the way and that caused fingers to stick out of the hole causing the very tip of the maintenance man's finger to get cut.
