Narrative

At 7:00 a.m. on October 16, 2021, an employee was troubleshooting a machine. The top part cylinder became detached from the machine's top part frame, leaving a gap. The machine then cycled while the employee's right hand was between the cylinder and the bracket. He suffered amputations to the index and middle fingertips.
