Narrative

An employee was holding a tag line for a rotary head that was being lifted 300 feet into the air for installation. The tag line got hung up in the shackle. When the employee disentangled it, his right hand got caught in the tag line and pulled into the shackle. His index finger was amputated above the fingernail.
