Struck by... (Not Elsewhere Classified)

Employee was working on the air actuated knife gate. The ram that attaches to the gate was disconnected from the gate. The gate was in the down position with the ram being in the up position. EE was spinning the piece that attaches the ram to the gate up the threaded part of the ram and the water pressure coming into the freshwater tank pushed it up into EE's finger.
