An employee was delivering trusses from a tractor trailer. He tilted the truck bed to dump the trusses and went to the back of the truck to see if they had come off. He walked back to the cab and had his hand on the trailer when the trusses began to slide off. His finger was caught between a truss and the roller at the edge of the trailer, resulting in a right index finger amputation.
