Final narrative
Employee was bleeding the pressure off a weighted ball used to check stormwater pipes for leaks. The weight of the water inside the PVC pipe caused the ball to slide down the pipe. Employee grabbed the rope strap with his right hand and the strap's force and sharp edge severed his right-thumb tip.
The finger tip was recovered and delivered to Parkland Hospital, but didn't have enough bone to be reattached.
