## Narrative

An employee depressed the foot pedal on an air bending machine to bend parts. He rested his left hand on the area where the arm meets the bending roller, which controls the bending arm. When he released the foot pedal, the bending arm automatically returned to home position and his left thumb was pinched between the arm and the bending roller. His left thumb tip was amputated as a result.
