Narrative

An employee was milling animal feed using a tractor-powered feed mill. He turned to look at the feed auger because it had stopped feeding and lost his balance. He put out his right hand to steady himself and his hand contacted the rotating flywheel on the feed mill; his thumb was partially amputated.
