Final narrative
An employee was in an elevator pit working on the hoisting cables and compensator sheave. He moved the cables back onto the sheave groves. One of the cables spun, twisted out of the grove, grabbed his glove, and pulled his hand into the sheave. The tip of his right thumb was caught under a cable and was amputated approximately at the knuckle just below the nail.
