He was using a rattail bastard file, holding the tail in his right hand, with his left hand outstretched over the stock holding the tip of the file. Employee #1's unzipped windbreaker jacket was caught by the spinning stock and wound around, pulling him into the lathe. His head and arm struck the chuck and the stock, and he was killed.
