Employee amputates finger in press machine

At approximately 11.25 p.m. on March 9, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were working in a bat assembly line, connecting bat knobs to bat bodies. Employee #1 was leaning on a pneumatic press machine when his coworker inadvertently activated the machine while he was playing with the machine and joking with the employee. The left index of Employee #1 was caught between the slide and the die as the pneumatic press machine started. The force of the press crushed the finger, which was amputated five days later.
