Final narrative
An employee was jacking up a semi-trailer to replace a tire. He had raised one side of the trailer axle. While making adjustments to a second jack, the trailer air ride system lost air pressure, causing the first jack to slip off the axle and pinch his right middle finger between the second jack and the lifted axle. The employee's right middle finger was medically amputated at the second knuckle.
