## Narrative

A crew, working for Red Diamond Energy Services, was laying down 2 7/8-inch tubing. The employee on the floor would unlatch the elevators slightly above the floor. The joint would bounce and the employee on the ground would grab and slide the tubing down the rack. While the 29th joint was being laid down, the employee's right ring finger was crushed between the tubing and the floor as the joint bounced resulting in amputation.
