Narrative

EE was using a utility knife, removing strips of belting that was wrapped around a tail pulley. They put a new blade in the knife, and they didn't think it would go through as easy as it did. When the knife passed through the belting, it punctured their left forearm, resulting in them receiving 7 sutures.
