Final narrative
An employee was troubleshooting an incubator in which an egg rack was failing to turn. An airline (which supplied compressed air used to turn the rack) had been pinched; as the employee began to check it, it opened and the rack turned and amputated his right ring fingertip (without bone loss). The fingertip was also fractured.
