Final narrative
At about 8:10 p.m., an employee was using a hydraulic press brake to form a steel part. As the steel part was re-struck, the material bent up into the front of the dies while the employee was holding it. The employee's left thumb was pinched between the die and steel part at the middle of the thumbnail, causing the amputation of the thumb tip.
