Narrative

An employee was pressing a bushing into an aircraft part using a rod bushing setting tool and a 5-ton arbor press mounted to a table. While the employee was pulling down the lever on the arbor press to seat the bushing into the aircraft part, the rod tool snapped, causing the employee to lose his balance and fall on his left knee. He suffered a broken left femur.
