Narrative

An employee was using prybars to remove a diverter plate from a power boiler bark chute. The lower chute broke free and flipped over. As the employee reached out to try to stop the chute section from falling, his right index finger was pinched between the diverter plate and the bark chute. Their finger was amputated at the first knuckle.
