Abstract: At approximately 3:50 p.m. on April 9, 1991, Employee #1, a press operator for Winterland Productions, was cleaning an automatic press. The Centurion Multiprinter press, machine #8, was about 10 ft in diameter and was equipped with rotating arms where the T-shirts were placed and printed. A coworker who was cleaning another part of the same press activated the machine. The arms rotated, pinning Employee #1 to the frame of the press. When the coworker heard Employee #1 yelling for help, he turned off the power. Employee #1 suffered bruises to his back and stomach and was admitted to San Francisco General Hospital. The coworker hadn't realized that Employee #1 was in the path of the rotating arms
