Narrative

An employee was emptying cardboard from a baler. As he was opening the baler door, he noticed it was stuck on the top gate. He lifted on the top gate to free the bottom door and the door swung open, smashing his right-hand fingers against the door latch. His right ring fingertip was amputated.
