Narrative

EE was removing an impeller from a pump. The crew attached a hanger to the impeller and EE began to backspin the shaft by pulling the belt. The momentum of the belt pulled EE's finger between the belt and the sheave. EE jerked EE's hand out, but EE's glove remained pinched. The event degloved skin and the fingernail and crushed the tip of EE's right middle finger.
