Final narrative
An employee was using a pneumatic strapping tensioner to form a steel coil band around sheets of steel. When he was repositioning his hand, he grabbed the side of the handle and hit the crimp mechanism. The crimp mechanism clamped down on his left-hand index finger, amputating the finger from the nail to the first joint.
