Final narrative
Two employees were operating a paving machine at approximately 1 mile per hour. The paver made a sudden turn, that threw the injured employee off balance. He reached for the handhold next to him and missed, falling 6 inches off the platform to the ground. The adjustable handle for the wing on the paving machine went between his left-hand fingers with the full weight of his body. The employee suffered a closed fracture of the fourth metacarpal bone in his hand.
