Narrative

An employee put a roll of lamination film on a lamination machine to laminate (glue) two pieces of film together. When he pushed the button to disengage a roll from the machine, the empty roll moved over and his right middle finger was caught between the metal rod and the core of the laminate roll. The fingertip was amputated.
