On April 12, 2011, Employee #1 was apparently riding in a fork truck, on a shipping dock. As he was entering a trailer, he realized that the overhead door was not high enough to allow the fork truck to enter the trailer. Employee #1 put his hand up through the canopy of the fork truck to boost the door up, while the fork truck was slightly moving. Employee #1's fingers became stuck between the fork truck canopy and the overhead door. His fingers were amputated, and he was hospitalized.
