Narrative

EE was drilling holes in angle on a drill press to make brackets. He had turned the press off and while removing the angle, the drill bit was still rotating some and there was a shaving stuck to it. This shaving caught his glove and twisted his hand around. He was able to pull his hand free of the glove. The twisting resulted in a broken bone in his hand.
