A roof truss had stopped moving at the location where the finished trusses come out of the building and go into the finish press. An employee went into the approximately 2-foot wide gap between the wall and the finish press to push the truss into the press. The press engaged, and the truss hit the employee. The employee sustained a hair-line fracture of the pelvis, requiring hospitalization.
