Final narrative
With the assistance of a sling swing the employee was loading a big gas valve into a truck with his bare hands. During the loading, the sling rotated thus rotating the valve, which caused the employee to pinch his finger between the sling and the valve resulting in the amputation of his thumb just below the fingernail.
