EE was operating a 777 haul truck when a bottle of water fell off the buddy seat onto the floor. The ee reached behind the seat for the water bottle when his middle finger on his right hand contacted the partially guarded air conditioner fan blades. The ee received a chipped bone in the finger and a laceration that required sutures to close.
