Narrative

The operator entered information into the data screen of the line winder, then turned around and walked to the paper rolling machine on the line. He tripped on the edge of a presence sensing safety mat and fell into the machine. The employee's left arm struck a bar and his right hand landed on an in-running nip point of the vertical roller, horizontal feed belt, and the housing of the vertical belt. Three fingers on the operator's right hand were degloved.
