Final narrative
An employee was trying to roll a crossed iron pipe back into the fixed metal pipe saddle. He lost his balance and as he tried to catch himself, his index finger was caught between the pipe and the pipe saddle crushing it. The fingertip was surgically amputated at the first knuckle. His middle and ring fingers sustained contusions.
