Narrative

IE was trying to get a drill steel unstuck from the drill chuck. IE used a four foot bolt to push the drill steel out from the underneath side of the drill pot. IE put down pressure on the four footer but also hit rotation. It rotated the four foot bolt which struck the IE's left hand. IE received a fracture right above the pinky knuckle.
