## Narrative

An employee was operating an industrial post machine when the machine failed to cycle properly, resulting in a "double pour" (a second lead terminal was poured before the previously poured terminal was removed). The employee proceeded to clear the terminals and the mold closed and pinched their right middle finger, resulting in amputation of the proximal portion of the finger.
