Final narrative
An employee arrived at the office area and went to sit down in a barstool-style chair. Their hand was placed on the bottom of the seat plate for stability as the chair automatically lowered. Their left ring finger was pinched between the seat plate and the lower support, resulting in amputation of approximately a 1/2 inch of the fingertip without bone loss. The fingertip was surgically reattached.
