Narrative

An employee was working on an assembly line when he attempted to free a pallet that was stuck in the pallet elevator. When he released the pallet, a proximity switch was activated, causing the machine to cycle. His left arm was then caught between the pallet and the elevator, resulting in a lower left arm fracture.
