## Narrative

An employee was removing a garage door at an apartment complex. The electric motor was holding up the door. The employee removed the wires and springs from the door, and it was expected to drop.

He went to catch the falling door when his left little finger was caught between two sections of the garage door, resulting in amputation to the first knuckle.
