## Narrative

After pulling the inner tube with the latch head, the helper walked to the tube rack. While placing the tube, weight shifted toward the latch head, causing EE to lose balance slightly. EE's right hand lowered, and EE's ring finger was caught under the latch head as it contacted the rack. EE was wearing impact gloves.
