A rig crew had installed the rotating rubber onto the last joint of pipe in a mouse hole. The crew picked up the joint out of the mouse hole to attach it to the stump to make up the last joint. As the joint was placed inside the stump, the rotating rubber (wet from the weather) slid down the casing and struck an employee's right index finger. The finger was amputated.
