Narrative

An employee was roll-forming sheet metal into an 8-inch tube. The radius had been made too small. The employee tried to pull the metal piece out and their right hand was pulled into the roller. The pinky and ring fingers on their right hand were smashed resulting in medical amputation of the pinky finger. The machine was in auto-run at the time.
