Narrative

Multiple employees were working to treat a bloated animal in a cattle pen. They put a head restraint on the animal. A chain attached to the head restraint device caught the injured employee's index finger, resulting in a fingertip amputation around the fingernail area that required surgical amputation at the first knuckle.
