Final narrative
An employee was starting to wind a plastic liner onto a spool (bobbin) with a foot switch energized on the "FE Complexor" machine that combines layers of rubber used to make tires. The liner was slipping. The employee reached in to secure it from slipping and his hand was caught between the liner and the rotating spool (bobbin). This resulted in a fracture of both bones in the lower left arm which required surgery.
