Final narrative
While performing part inspection and packaging, an employee noticed a sprue was lodged in a stripping fixture. He climbed a step stool and was trying to dislodge the sprue when a robot approached and struck his right forearm and hand as it came down. As it continued to cycle, it tore the skin and removed flesh in a downward and upward motion.
