On 10/1/2024, it was reported to the department that on 9/27/2024 C#1 was sliding down the slide with their hands under their bottom. C#1 pinky finger got caught between C#1's bottom and the slide.

However, C#1 was taken to seek medical attention and returned to facility with restrictions the following business day due to the injury causing a mild fracture to the pinky. The incident happened so fast it was unable to be prevented. The incident was not reported to the Department within the 24-hour period. The written report was received via email on 10/1/2024. Technical assistance provided and given.
During today’s inspection, interviews were conducted, and documentation was reviewed and obtained. C#1 incident on 9/27/24 was observed and first aid was provided. Although C#1 did obtain a mild fracture to the pinky, the incident was determined to be an accident.
