Final narrative
An employee was providing ground support and acting as a spotter when a steel wire that was being lifted drifted toward a boom cylinder. The employee was trying to stop it from striking a digger derrick when the employee's pinky and ring fingers were pinched between the wire wheel and the boom cylinder, resulting in partial amputations of both fingers.
