Final narrative
An employee was installing a torque arm onto a wind turbine gearbox on the ground. While he was attempting to insert the pin into the bushing, the pin dislodged and allowed the 50-pound torque arm to drop. The employee attempted to catch the torque arm, and his right thumb tip was caught in the pinhole as the arm fell to the ground, amputating thumb flesh (no bone).
