Narrative

An employee was changing the dies of a brake press. They loosened the securement bolts on the upper die (approximately 6-feet long and weighing 200-pounds) and the upper die fell out of the press. The employee attempted to catch the die and their left middle and ring fingers were caught between the upper die and the bottom die, resulting in amputations.
