A Lone Star Wolf Service employee was testing tubing going into a well when he began helping an operator who was lowering testing bars and pressuring them up for testing. After a couple of repetition runs of inserting the testing gun into the testing bar eye and hydrotesting the tube, the operator lowered the bars a bit more to have a complete seal. At the time, the injured employee's  hand was on the testing gun handles, and his right index finger was pinched between the wiper cup and the testing pan. He was hospitalized.
