Narrative

An employee was using the forks on a forklift to support a 1-inch thick sheet of metal. The forklift was lifting the sheet up two inches from the original process bed when a 1-inch thick metal skeleton (cut out of the sheet of metal) dropped through the original sheet onto the employee's left ring fingertip. A quarter inch of the fingertip was amputated.
