Narrative

Employees were driving piles. An employee was using his left hand to guide the leads (upright portion that drives the hammer). The lines were suspended by a crane and the third line was not in use. As the crane lowered the leads, the weight of the leads draped onto the third line. This caused the third line to tighten against the employee s hand causing an amputation to the left thumb just below the nailbed near the first joint.
