## Narrative

An employee was operating a crane via wireless remote to move a wrapped coil. The employee noticed the hooks began to slip, so the employee sat down the coil bundle and attempted to remove the paper wrapped around the coil. In doing so, one of the hooks jolted and caught the employee's right index fingertip, amputating it.
