Narrative

Three employees were unloading a reclining sofa from the back of a truck to the ground. One of them was trying to guide the process with a four-wheel hand truck. The hand truck rolled on uneven ground, and the employee's hand was caught between the bottom bracket of the sofa and the hand truck, resulting in the amputation of the end of the thumb.
