Narrative

Employee lifted the seat of a golf cart to see why it did not start. He jiggled some wires and when he pressed on a belt, the belt started to turn. The tip of his middle finger got caught between the turning belt and pulley, which amputated the tip of his finger down to the first knuckle.
