Final narrative
An employee was using a crane to move a pole through the squaring press for the third pressing operation. The attachments used to support the pole fell. The top attachment, the die, which supports the knuckle of the pole and weighs approximately 125 pounds, stuck the employee's ankle just above his metatarsal guard. The employee sustained a right ankle laceration requiring surgery to repair a tendon.
