Narrative

While an employee was manually turning the HPGR drive with a prybar the inertia of motion from the HPGR rolls continued to shift the drive with the prybar wedged in between while the employee's hand was still grasped onto the prybar. The force of prybar pinched the employee's right pinky finger against the bottom of the metal cage used to guard the drive when it is energized.
