Final narrative
On August 17, 2015, at approximately 11:30 a.m., an employee was injured while assisting a customer with a riding lawnmower positioned on a display. The employee was lowering the display to retrieve the lawnmower. The display did not operate properly, so the employee lifted up on it to break it loose. The display and lawnmower fell and pinned the employee's left hand between the equipment and the ground, amputating one fingertip and fracturing three fingers.
