Final narrative
An employee was changing a water hose on a die machine. The employee had extended the ram of the machine fully to gain access to the water line. As the employee was checking the water hose, the hydraulics on the ram released, causing the ram to retract to its holding position. The ram caught the employee's hands, pinned them, and broke bones in both hands.
