Narrative

An employee went to retrieve his welding mask which was on the ground and hung it up on the landing gear of a cane trailer. He kicked the trailer landing gear forward so it would swing up and forward. As he did this, the stool he was sitting on moved and his foot slipped off the landing gear. The landing gear then swung backward and pinched his right middle fingertip against the ear pin, resulting in amputation.
