Narrative

An employee was forming metal on a press brake when he experienced a cramp in his leg and began to stretch his leg to get the cramp out. In the process of taking care of the cramp, the foot pedal was engaged which caused the machine to cycle and partially amputate his left ring and middle fingers.
