Narrative

An employee was operating a walk-behind skid steer. He was traveling under an elevated 18" pipe when the front of the machine dropped into a hole, raising the back of the machine and pinching his left hand between the machine and the pipe. He suffered an amputation of his left middle fingertip (approximately 1/2 inch).
