Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:30 p.m. on July 28, 1997, Employee #1 was using a 30 ton C-clamp to bend the tip of a propeller blade. He was using a remote control to operate the press while a coworker watched the pressure build up on the gauge. Employee #1 stopped at 3,600 psi and was looking to see if he had bent the blade enough when the C-clamp slipped off the blade and struck his upper body. Employee #1 was knocked backward, striking his head against the other part of the propeller blade. He suffered a subdural hemotoma, and was killed.
