## Narrative

EE attached a whip check to a Hilti drill bit that was hung up in the locking collar of the drill. EE and another employee picked up the drill and began to pull on the bit. Accidentally the drill was engaged causing the whip check to wrap around the bit and therefore pulling tight on IE's right index finger cutting it requiring stitches to close.
