Narrative

While performing a drilling task, the operator was applying manual pressure to the tool. The drill bit snapped unexpectedly under tension. The sudden release of resistance caused the operator's hand to lunge forward, striking the jagged edge of the broken bit and resulting in a puncture wound to the right index finger.
