Narrative
An employee was pushing back a stand of drill pipe on a rig floor. He slipped and fell forward, putting his hands out in front of him to brace his fall. The drill pipe moved back slightly and pinched his right index and middle fingers against the rig floor, resulting in the amputation of the two fingertips above the first knuckle.
