## Narrative

A crew was removing old distribution poles. As they were removing the bottom section of a pole post, a winch line became tangled with slack. Two of the employees climbed on top of the crew's truck to fix the issue. The load then pulled the winch line tight around the finger of one of the employees, causing the amputation of their fingertip.
