Final narrative
An employee was removing bolts from the diving door of a submarine using an air-driven impact wrench. When he removed the final bolt, the door swung down, pushing the impact wrench down on his hand. His thumb was pinched between the impact wrench and a support beam under the submarine. The employee sustained an amputation to the left thumb that included bone loss.
