Narrative

An employee was attempting to remove a rock that had jammed a mechanical gate on a batch plant hopper and conveyor. When the rock became free, the gate snapped shut, pinching the employee's hand and fingers between the gate and the stop point of the gate. Four fingers were amputated at the second joint of the knuckles.
