Investigation Summary
On June 19, 2002, Employee #1 was tightening nuts with a torque wrench during the assembly of piston rods. He was resting his hand on top of the gun and tightening a nut when the buck bar did not engage the stop bar and continued on around the wrench. His left thumb was caught between the buck bar and eye-bolt used to suspend the gun. This caused the amputation of his left thumb below the nail and just above the first joint. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
