Narrative

A tube winder operator was poking some stuck cans near a roller when the roller pulled the poke rod under the roller. The operator instinctively tried to grab the rod but missed. EE's hand was pulled into the roller and the machine was stopped and EE got EE's hand out. The hand was x-rayed and no fracture was found. No stitches were indicated.
