Narrative

An employee noticed that a four-high stack of new wheels were not stacked straight on a conveyor line. The employee grabbed the second wheel from the bottom and began to rotate the wheels to straighten the stack. As he began turning them, the conveyor began feeding forward and the wheels fell, pinching his left hand between the wheels. His index, middle, and ring fingers were broken.
