Final narrative
Two employees were lifting a radio antenna up the tower using a winch when the rope got bound up in the spool of the winch. They were repositioning the spool of rope when the winch began to take the rope more quickly and pulled the injured employee's left hand that was holding the rope into the winch. The employee's left middle and ring fingers were injured and the little finger was broken.
