## Narrative

An employee flipped an LBX roof with a ceramic cam magnet attached to a hoist. The employee moved the magnet release handle, which operated a roller cam to release the magnet, then grabbed the opposite side to pull the magnet away. The magnet release handle switched back, engaging the magnet, which pinched and amputated the employee's right ring fingertip.
