Narrative
An aircraft mechanic was working on the left wing of an F-18 aircraft removing a component section of the wing known as a flight control surface. During this process the employee pushed on a bolt with his finger. When the bolt moved, the employee's right index finger followed and was caught in a pinch point by the weight of the falling component. The fingertip was amputated.
