His Kevlar sleeves were caught on the collar bolt (attached to the Mandrel shaft) that was rotating in a counter clockwise position. The rotating motion of the shaft flipped the employee across the machine. The shaft continued to spin and amputated the employee's left arm below the elbow. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
