Diamond K Gypsum Inc · Struck against stationary object

the miner was using a small sledge hammer to beat product out of a bin. While swinging the hammer, he struck an I bolt that's welded to the bin for lifting purposes. He went to the emergency room where they told him his thumb was broken. The Doctor told him to keep it taped up for a couple weeks and to come back if the pain got worse. The miner never had a second visit.
