Narrative

An employee was pushing a cart holding 10 steel cores vertically. The cores were 44" high, 1" in diameter with a 1/4" keyway, and they weighed 10 pounds each. He stopped the cart which caused three of the cores to fall. The keyway of one the shafts fell onto his right middle finger that was resting on the cart and it amputated the fingertip.
