The tail apparently began to wrap on the reel. The employee tried to grab the tail to get it to stop wrapping. His right arm became caught in the nip point between the reel drum and the spool. He sustained crushing injuries to his right hand and arm. He also sustained the partial degloving or avulsion of his right hand and thumb. He also sustained scratches and a contusion to his face and head. He was hospitalized.
