Final narrative
An employee used a wire brush to clean the threads of two 10-foot joints of 2-inch figure 1502 iron pipe, which were sitting on the rack of a monorail trailer. As the employee rotated the pipe inward to clean the threads of the innermost joint, the opposite end of the pipe dislodged from the rack and fell to the ground. As it fell, the end nearest to the employee levered upward and pinched their right thumb between the two joints of pipe. The employee sustained a laceration and fracture to the thumb.
