Narrative

An employee was disassembling a roughly 55-pound gusset plate because it was assembled incorrectly. As he removed the last pin, the plate started to fall off of the table. He tried to catch the plate, and his left-hand ring finger was caught between the plate and a section of another metal piece. His left ring fingertip was amputated without bone loss.
