Narrative

An employee had just repaired an overhead door chain in an ambulance garage and was climbing down a 12-foot A-frame ladder. His left hand was resting on the chain he just repaired when a paramedic came in and activated the switch to raise the garage door. His hand was caught between the chain and sprocket to the garage motor, amputating both middle fingertips.
