## Narrative

An employee moved three pieces of material (weighing 290 pounds each) with a 5-ton overhead gantry crane, using a choker hitch. He then started the lowering process to place the load on top of a wooden dunnage board that was on the floor. His left hand was in between the material when the material buckled inward, crushing and amputating his left middle fingertip.
