Employee Severed Fingertip in Fan Blade

At approximately 3:15 p.m. on February 21, 2002, Employee #1, a 51-year-old ECS Technician, employed by Hamilton Sundstrand in San Diego, California, was performing an acceptance test for a mixed flow fan. During the test procedure, Employee #1 turned the fan on and noticed air leaks. To examine the leaks further, he wiggled the fan from its side. As he moved the fan, his left hand moved, catching his ring finger on his left hand in the fan blade, severing the fingertip.
