Investigation Summary
On April 20, 1994, Employee #1 told a coworker that he was going to scare the operator of the Miehle die cutter. When Employee #1 arrived at the die cutter, the machine was turned off, and the operator was not present. Apparently, Employee #1 decided to crawl under the frame of the die cutter to hide and wait for the operator's return. Unknown to Employee #1, there was a large metal ram which traveled the length of the machine under the frame. When the operator returned, he started the machine and the ram struck and crushed Employee #1 in the abdomen. He died.
