Worker at Connecticut pasta factory gets arm caught in machine, sustains 'serious injuries'
quote:
The worker, whose identity hasn’t been revealed, got their arm trapped in the machine, according to a media release issued by the South Windsor Fire Department over Facebook.
"The machine was a hopper-type device at the top of a roller machine, which had an auger in the middle and an output slot and roller at the bottom," the SWFD’s news release explained. "The patient’s [sic] position was on top of the hopper."
The machine’s hopper was eventually cut and lifted off with rope and levers, which provided emergency personnel access to the worker’s arm. The SWFD noted the rescued worker "sustained serious injuries."

Was it making elbow macaroni?

One of our salesmen has a 16 year old nephew who was working at a grocery store in a small town in West TN back in the fall. He was cleaning up in the back and somehow managed to fall into the meatgrinder. Lost his arm just above the elbow. Big time no no to have a 16 year old working in the vicinity of a meatgrinder

Seems like it would have been easier to retrieve the arm here.

I've seen some serious industrial accidents in my OSHA practice. One involved a man who was killed inside a hog skinning machine that was accidentally turned on. The lockout procedure was not followed. He was skinned alive and it was awful.

Machinery injuries are always terrible.
Scruffy has seen a 2 year old get her arm caught in a meat grinder and a pre-teen have her hand caught in a conveyor belt.
Conveyor belt had a better outcome, but both injuries were gruesome.

Over the years I have handled a lot of lock-out and machine-guarding etc cases many were horrific.
Some that stand out
One was a lock-out issue where a woman was cleaning the inside of a 10,000 gallon food mixer and got beat literally to pieces
A 17 yo kid working in an ice house got his arm pulled into an ice crusher and his arm and head were crushed
A woman was bringing a turning tool holder to a metal lathe operator and she dropped it at the lathe, when she reached down to pick it up her long hair caught in the chuck and it literally ripped her scalp off her head.
What a large punch press does to a hand/arm is nearly incomprehensible. Now with everyone having a cell phone, you get pictures you never would have and they look like something out of a cartoon. It is like they took a 3-dimensional body part and made it 2-dimensional.
I see a lot fewer machine guarding cases than 20+ years ago but the lengths workers would go to in order to bypass the guards was amazing. They spent a lot of time figuring out how to make the machines they worked on more lethal for them and their co-workers.

My shirt sleeve was caught in a newspaper press one time. Fortunately, it pulled my whole forearm into the rollers and I was able to hit the kill button. If it had come in at more of an angle, it would have mangled my right hand. As it was, it just pinched the shite out of my forearm and caused me to go sit down for a while. Scared the bejesus out of me. I kept that shirt, with the big ink stain on the right sleeve, for many years.
