Narrative

The top row of paddles was installed on dual log-washer shafts. While using a pipe wrench to turn shaft for additional paddle installation the unbalanced weight of the shafts caused the shafts to rotate quickly, the quick rotation caused the pipe wrench to turn with the shaft, pinning employee's wrists between the pipe wrench the adjacent metal enclosure.
