Abstract: At about 3:00 p.m. on July 3, 1991, Employee #1 was changing a tool on a numerical control vertical milling machine. The machine, under control of its program, had stopped to permit the tool change. When Employee #1 applied a wrench to a tool spindle, the 2,500 rpm spindle self-started. The wrench whipped around and fractured Employee #1's right wrist and inflicted a bleeding wound. In the hospital, a metal plate was surgically clamped onto the employee's fractured wrist.
