When he extended his finger under the roller wheel, the wheel made contact with his finger and cut off the tip of it. He was hospitalized for treatment of an amputated finger. The worker stated that he had done this before and that other employees helped him. He also stated that he had dislodged two other pipes in the same manner the day of the injury.
