Final narrative
An employee was handling compressed gas cylinders using a cylinder cart. The hook used to secure the cylinder to the cart slipped, causing the cylinder to lower onto the cart. The employee's left middle finger was then pinched between the cylinder halo and the handle of the cylinder cart, amputating his fingertip.
