Narrative

An employee was locking up a pitching machine in a metal building. The key is stored on a ledge, which is approximately 6 to 7 feet in height. The employee could not reach the ledge and jumped up to put the key back when the ring on their left ring finger became stuck on the ledge, resulting in an amputation.
