Narrative

The injured was using a booster pack to start a diesel welder/Generator. After starting the welder, EE attempted to unhook the jumper cables from the battery terminals. One of the jumper cable leads got into the cooling fan blades, the blades broke off and a piece of the plastic blade struck EE's left index finger, resulting in a laceration which required 2 sutures.
