Narrative

An employee was using a drift mandrel to check for the proper diameter inside a valve. His ring and middle fingertips on both hands were in machined holes on either side of the drift he was pushing into the valve when the drift became stuck. As he tried pushing the drift harder, the drift broke free and went into the valve, severing his four fingertips.
