Final narrative
An employee was looking for defects in a carpet while standing on the floor between a catwalk and the exit roller of a tufting machine. He stepped backward and tripped on the edge of the catwalk, grabbing onto the exit roller of the machine with his left hand in order to catch himself. While doing so, his left index finger went into the keyway hole on the rotating exit roller, which caused his left index finger to be lacerated.
