Abstract: At approximately 4:30 p.m. on July 29, 2012, Employee #1, a 41-year-old male parade member with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Usa Inc., was riding on a small vehicle and complained that there was a noise coming from the drive wheel area. Employee #1 checked to see if the noise could be found. Employee #1 removed a cover that was over the battery and mechanical cam to observe the action. Employee #1 then asked another coworker to hit the stop button to turn of the vehicle. Employee #1 was looking away as he asked for that to occur and a rod moving up and down pinched his right hand middle fingertip off as he had placed it on a battery holding support. The fingertip was amputated and not able to be reattached. The equipment involved was manufactured by the Employer and had the appearance of a carousel horse which moved up and down as the parade went forward. The Employer is a large amusement resort; Employee#1 had worked there for nine-years working as an outside machinist, with the last three working on parade floats and equipment.
