Final narrative
An employee was using a crane to unload a windmill. As the employee was hooking a safety latch to the corner casting of a windmill, the vessel where the employee was working moved a little, creating tension on the hook. The employee's left ring finger was caught in the safety latch, fractured, and the fingertip was amputated without bone loss.
