Final narrative
An employee was using a press to bend a piece to a 90-degree angle. When the die came down, the piece did not bend 90 percent as it was supposed to, so the employee lifted the die, held the piece with both hands, and activated the press with the foot pedal. The press die then amputated the employee's thumbs from the middle of the nail to the tip.
