Employee's knee injured when struck by a blown machine part

At approximately 8:45 a.m. on June 25, 1990, Employee #1 and two coworkers, of Gregg Industries, Inc., were repairing and adjusting a molding machine in the foundry shop when a coworker accidentally hit the bushing on the air platen of the machine. It exploded, and the airborne piston assembly fell on Employee #1, fracturing his left knee. He was taken to Arcadia Methodist Hospital, hospitalized for approximately 2 weeks, and then discharged to recuperate at home. Employee #1 later stated that the molding machine was air-powered and that the air supply was not disconnected when he and his coworkers were working on the machine.
