Narrative

Two employees were lowering a part from a mast of a ship. As the employees were lowering the part with a pulley and a tagline, the part got caught in something. The injured employee pulled hard on the tagline, cutting the line and the part fell on his right index finger resulting in amputation of the fingertip.
