Employee injured when arm caught in ripsaw feed roll

Employee #1 was feeding 4 inch by 8 inch lumber into a ripsaw. The 4 by 8s were being ripped (cut into 2 pieces) to 4 inch by 4 inch boards. Employee #1 was to stand 3 to 4 feet from the unguarded feed roll as he fed lumber into the saw. As Employee #1 did this, the machine caught his glove and pulled his arm under the feed roll. Employee #1's arm was pinched between the feed roll and the 4 by 8 being fed into the saw. Employee #1 was able to stop the machine, but the feed roll kept him pinned. The off-bearer on the ripsaw did not know there was a problem until Employee #1 started yelling. Employee #1 does not remember how his arm got under the feed roll. Speculation is that Employee #1 was talking to the off-bearer and his inattention allowed his arm to follow the 4 by 8 being fed into the machine.
