Narrative

An employee was landing a pallet jack that was elevated by a tower crane. As the crane lowered the load into a courtyard where the employee was located, the load struck something and started to swing. The employee's right hand was caught between the swinging load and the aluminum joists, crushing and amputating the ring finger.
