Narrative

An employee was attempting to remove the chain from the bit of a barge transfer system when the transfer cable snapped up, pinning his right index finger between the bit and the chain. This action removed most of the fleshy tissue of his upper finger. He was hospitalized, and the remaining upper finger was medically amputated.
