## Narrative

An employee was running a test pipe for 12 feet and went to pull the pipe out of a roll grooving tool. As he was doing this, the tool's control pedal actuated, causing the tool to rotate. The employee's glove became caught and was pulled into the rollset, amputating about half an inch of his index finger.
