At approximately 4:30 a.m., on May 12, 2017, an employee was operating an extrusion line when the film caused the sheet to become stuck at the center trim saw. He went under the line and pushed the sheet up to free it. When he did this, the force of the sheet pulled his hand toward the saw, which amputated his ring and middle fingertips.
