Narrative

A technician was removing a drive shaft from a truck. He disconnected the drive shaft from the transmission and then unbolted the swing bearing. When the shaft came free, it fell off the transmission jack that was supporting it and landed on his right hand. The hand was crushed and the pinky finger was amputated.
