Narrative

An employee was tying a horse to a rail with a lead rope when the horse suddenly pulled away. The employee's left thumb got caught in the rope knot. As the horse pulled, the employee's finger got squeezed between the pipe fence and the knot, amputating her thumb between the first and second joints.
