Narrative

An employee was in the rear of delivery truck unloading rolling metal cages containing merchandise. As the employee lowered a container to the ground with a lift gate, it began tipping over. The employee extended his right arm to prevent the load from falling and his right little finger was caught between the rolling cage and the trailer door frame. He sustained an open fracture to the right little finger.
