Ee was unhooking a generator trailer from the hitch. He decided since the jack didn't raise it high enough to drive out from under the trailer, he would lift the trailer off the hitch. When the trailer came off the hitch, the trailer rolled & smashed his finger between the trailer & the ball of the hitch. He was wearing work gloves. He had an x-ray and 2 stitches to close.
