Caught in, under or between (Not Elsewhere Classified)

The miner was traveling to the pontoon on a small outboard driven boat and he was trying to grab the tie off rope which was laying over the front of the boat. This is when his hand was pinched between the boat and the pontoon. The boat had been disengaged to nuetral but the miner was not paying attention to the boat drift, therefore the caught in between injury occured.
