The workers hand became entrapped between the rollers and the inward action of the rollers pulled his hand and arm into an opening of approximately one half inch in size. The arm was drawn into the machine up past the elbow, causing severe soft tissue and skin damage. Employee #1 was able to extricate himself from the machine by reversing the rollers with the panic bar.
