Narrative

Maintenance crew was working to free up an outrigger pad on the UV 11 blasting truck that had seized to the shaft. The crew was using a strap hooked to the maintenance truck to pull on the seized pad. When the pad broke free, it spun approximately 180 degrees on the shaft and mashed the employee's fingers.
