An employee was installing a 3"-diameter syphon pipe with a small valve on a tank car. The employee inserted the pipe into the tank car. The gasket moved, so he lifted it up by hand. While it was in the air under his power, he lost his grip and smashed his palm between the valve and a stud, breaking bones.
