Abstract: On September 29, 2011, Employee #1, a technician, was adjusting a router machine while standing in front of the control panel. The router machine was set at 18,000 RPMs, but the router that he was using had a maximum rating of 6,500 RPMs. The force of the greater RPMs caused the router blades to break into pieces, and they were thrown 360 degrees around the bit. One of the pieces struck Employee #1 in his mid-section, causing a puncture and internal injuries. He later died.
