Narrative

An employee was taking a meatball mixture out of a carbon dioxide mixer on the side of a spiral oven. The employee opened the ejection doors of the mixer and was working to facilitate the ejection of the mixture by manipulating it by hand as it came out. His right hand was caught in the mixing paddles, which amputated the index, middle, and ring fingers above the second knuckle.
