Narrative

On March 1, 2019, at approximately 10:30 PM, workers were attempting to rig down the gull wings of a catwalk. While removing the pins that were holding the gull wings in position, a worker's middle fingers were in holes at the bottom of the gull wings. When the pins were removed, the gull wings swung together and amputated the tips of his middle fingers below the first knuckles.
