Final narrative
An employee was preparing a spool to take up cable from an extrusion process. Tubing got caught on the collet and spindle of the winder. The employee was going to use scissors to cut the tubing off the winding reel. Before being able to cut, the tubing tightened on the rotating spindle shaft, amputating the employee's left index and middle fingers at the first joint.
