Final narrative
An employee was working on assembling a casting tower used to compress materials together. The tower is approximately 1x1x4 feet and weighs around 250 pounds. The tower became unbalanced and tipped over on its side. As the tower fell, the employee's right middle finger was caught on one of the pipe fittings. This crushed the first joint of his middle finger and partially amputated the top part at the first knuckle.
