Narrative

An employee was disconnecting a breaker attachment from a backhoe. He used another pin to push the attachment pin out. When the attachment pin became free of the backhoe, the attachment dropped slightly, causing the pin in his hand to shift and pinch his left pinky finger between the attachment frame and the pin. His left pinky fingertip was partially amputated.
