Narrative

An employee was unscrewing the accumulator from an agricultural tractor. When he released the line during disassembly, it sprung apart and crushed his thumb. In addition, oil that was under pressure in the line shot underneath the skin of his thumb, resulting in right thumb lacerations and fractures, as well as oil injected under the skin.
