EE was attempting to roll a 4" dia x 8ft steel shaft onto the forks of a forklift. The forks were jammed against the bottom rail of the trailer carrying the metal shaft. When the forks were tilted back, they sprung upward catching the EE's thumb between the top rail of the trailer and the shaft, causing laceration. Required 5 sutures.
