Narrative

Two employees were in a boat pulling a 45-pound anchor out of the water by the rope. The rope tightened and as the employees were attempting to create slack in the rope, the injured employee began to slip. His hand was caught between the rope and the inside of the platform boat, resulting in amputation of the right middle finger with bone loss.
