Employee's finger partially amputated in container door

Employee #1, a ramp serviceman for United Airlines, lifted the folded door of an LD-3 container used in air freight to release it to a free fall and unfold it to close the door. On its way down he tried to catch the door to reduce its impact and the little finger of his right hand became caught in the seam between the two door halves. Even though he was wearing sturdy leather gloves his finger was amputated at the first knuckle.
