## Narrative

An employee was using a tape measurer to measure the circumference of a steel tank that was sitting on rollers when slack in the tape measurer began to create a loop that was getting hung up. As the employee reached for the loop, he inadvertently activated the roller. His left pinky was then caught and smashed between the roller and the tank, resulting in a surgical amputation.
