That's a drive side rail from a laptop CD drive. It's unpowered and acts as an extension to the eject mech so it opens further. The ONLY way that impaled his hand is if the drive jammed while closing and he tried to force it closed at which point it will have jammed against the internal rail in the drive casing and ended up punching through the plastic and into his hand. It also locates BELOW the level of the disc at which point disc contact wouldn't have been possible (Also for the reason the disc spins clockwise and that rail would be the one at the point in the disc that if contact occurred it would push it to the back of the drive and not outwards) Therefore I call shenanigans.
