Abstract: On February 11, 2013, an employee was working for a firm that manufactured kitchen cabinets and countertops. He was using a table saw to cut a large piece of lumber for use as a cabinet door. The board snagged on the saw blade, and it kicked back and struck him. He took a break and went back to work for about an hour. He began feeling bad and then passed out. He was taken to the hospital and admitted for three days for a split or ruptured spleen. He also sustained a punctured abdomen.
