Narrative

An employee was raking wood debris from the floor of a step feeder while a second employee was on top of the step feeder using a picaroon to unplug wood from an opening that was full of debris. A piece of wood fell 10 feet through the opening and struck the first employee's left pinky finger, amputating it behind the nail.
