Narrative

An employee was bending a piece of 5/8-inch copper tubing on a pipe bender machine. He noticed the machine was not bending the tube properly. As he was trying to correct the problem, his glove became caught, pulling his left index finger into the clamp die of the machine. His fingertip was crushed, resulting in an amputation.
