Final narrative
An employee on a scissor lift that had a manually extendible boom was replacing a furnace door. As he was maneuvering the door, he placed his left hand on the lift's top rail assembly, which consisted of a square tubing channel and a U-shaped channel. When he pushed the door against the lift, his left pinky was caught and amputated (above the knuckle) between the two channels.
