Narrative

An employee was loading a 60-foot power pole onto a pole trailer using a pole crane and choker chain. The chain bound up; the employee grabbed the chain and tried to unbind it. The chain released and caught the tip of the employee's left middle finger, amputating it above the first knuckle.
