Narrative

An employee was operating a press machine. Aluminum plugged the die; the press continued, pushing the aluminum. The pressure caused the metal to shoot out of the press, smashing the employee's left hand between the aluminum and a run-out table. The employee suffered an amputation to the index finger.
