Narrative

Two employees were preparing to pour concrete to manufacture burial vaults. The belt on the concrete auger broke. One of the employees had replaced the belt and was fixing a twist in it, with his left middle finger under it, when the machine was turned on. The fingertip was amputated about 1/4 inch below the nail.
