Event: 08/31/1992

Employee's arms severed by rollers between wrist and elbow

At approximately 12:15 p.m. on August 22, 1992, Employee #1, of Dwight Saunders Ranch, was operating a Hesston 5800 hay baler. Evidence indicates that Employee #1 attempted to unplug or remove debris from the hay infeed mechanism without disengaging the power take-off unit. As a result, both of Employee #1's hands were caught between two horizontal spring-loaded feed rolls. Both of his arms were severed between the wrist and elbow. The tractor's engine was operating at approximately 1,000 rpm when the accident occurred.
