Final narrative
An employee was working independently underneath a trailer in the yard to repair a lift axle that was jammed. While the axle was rising slowly, he held onto the safety chain. When the arm had enough pressure to release itself from under the axle where it was jammed, the axle shot up, tightening the chain to the axle and amputating three of his right-hand fingers.
