Narrative

An employee was feeding a piece of 1/4"-thick by 2"-wide by 2'-long steel flat bar into an electric plate rolling machine. The employee noticed that the material was feeding crooked. When he tried to straighten it, his right hand was pulled into the rolling mechanism, crushing the index and middle fingers between the rollers. He used his left hand to push the roll-release lever, which freed his right hand from the machine.
