When splitting rock, the rock came back, hitting his left hand and jammed his hand between the rocks.
EE was polishing a rock. He advised me that the rock spun out of his hand, mashing his right ring finger and pinkie. When asked why this wasn't reported immediately, he advised me he didn't think it was all that serious and that I had left early on Friday. I had him fill out an accident report and sent him to the hospital.
