## Narrative

An employee was operating a tension leveling machine, which was running a coil of copper through it at a speed of approximately 200 fpm. The employee was at the delivery end of the machine near the payoff reel when he reached into the moving machine. The machine grabbed the glove on his left hand, pulled his left arm into the machine, and rotated him around five times. He was wrapped inside the copper coil from his left hand to his armpit and was severely injured.
