Narrative

IE was roof bolting on Unit 3. As the IE was installing a 6' fully grouted bolt, the bearing plate wasn't orientated in the right direction. The IE reached up with the right hand to position the plate, simultaneously pushing the bolt into the hole, pinching the tip of the right index finger between the plate and roof.
