EE was helping change cutting edges on a D11 dozer. EE was flipping one of the cutting edges over with a pry bar when EE's foot slipped and EE lost balance. EE caught self with their left hand on the ground. The cutting edge had already started to tip over which landed on EE's left ring finger causing a cut/smash right behind the fingernail.
