## Narrative

An employee was guiding the bucket of a backyard machine as it was being offloaded from the trailer on a residential street. The bucket caught the trailer as it was unloaded, causing the bucket to rotate and create a pinch point between the bucket mount (a steel bracket) and a hydraulic strut. The employee's left hand was caught between the top of the bucket and the hydraulic strut, and his index fingertip was amputated.
