Narrative

An employee was using a pulley system to pull over a tree. He was pulling on a rope that had a snatch block attached when the leverage gave way. His left glove got caught in the pulley and caused his fingers to get caught. The pulley amputated his left ring and little fingers to the first knuckle.
