Final narrative
An employee was using a clam-shaped curing press to vulcanize tires. The employee had to hold a tire in the press as a bladder inflated. The employee's right hand got stuck between the tire and the bladder; the curing press cycled while the employee's hand was stuck, causing open fractures to the middle and ring fingers.
