Final narrative
An employee was making a fiber. He used his right hand to smooth the ends of polypropylene yarn and ensure they wrapped evenly onto a beam, spinning at 7 RPM. Some yarn got wrapped around his right middle finger and lacerated the finger and removed the nail, resulting in a distal amputation.
