Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on June 5, 1990, Employee #1 was loading .223 caliber ammunition using a Manmatic progressive loading machine when one of approximately 125 primers jammed sideways in the machine's primer tube. Employee #1 stood on an empty 7 in. by 7 in. by 12 in. wooden ammunition box to get a better look as he tried to clear the primer tube with a pair of curved tweezers. The tweezers apparently set off the stuck primer and, in a chain reaction, the remaining primers exploded. The force of the explosion hurled the tweezers at Employee #1, striking him on the forehead. Employee #1, now unconscious, fell off the ammunition box and struck his head on the floor, fracturing his skull.
