Final narrative
An employee was working to repair a machine with a broken metal stopper. She removed the stopper and used a roll of tape to temporarily secure it. While she was moving it back into place to fix the machine, the residual pressure of the plastic pallets forced the stopper down, resulting in her right thumb becoming stuck between two metal parts. The thumb was amputated.
