EE was changing the packing on the #1 Pump. The housing that holds the packing in place got into a bind. EE used a pry bar to get it out of the bind. As EE was doing so, the pry bar slipped off the housing causing EE to fall forward with the pry bar, smashing EE's ring finger on EE's left hand between the pry bar and the pump.
