Narrative

An aluminum extrusion run had just finished, and two employees were using a die separator machine to separate the molds and tools from the die. As one of the employees started the machine, a hydraulic line on it blew apart at a fitting. The line, with the fitting on the end, struck one of the employees on the right shin. The employee was hospitalized for surgery on his leg.
