Narrative

An employee shut the lid on a hopper, then backed away from the hopper on a forklift. At the same time, the employee was holding a rope that was attached to the hopper. The forklift then ran over the rope, drawing it taut around the employee's finger. The rope amputated the employee's right ring finger to the second knuckle.
