Final narrative
An employee was removing a defective piece of pipe from a bundle of 40 to 60 pipes about 20 feet long and was mounted on a metal cart. When the defective pipe came loose, it pushed back, pinching the employee's right ring finger against the cart. The employee sustained a laceration that resulted in surgical amputation of the fingertip.
