My case dragged until the last day of cut-off(forgot the legal term)- associate panicked and suggested I settle. One day after, the expert who examined the machine called me at home and basically told me *exactly* what I had lost.<br />Apparently the machine was designed by the manufacturer with a disasterous flaw.<br />A right-handed person (as myself) has no way of reaching for the emergency open button if said right hand gets injured.<br /><br />OMG, omg, omgomgomg...this *still* makes me sick- 28 years later!<br />Had I gone through trial- I would not only be set for life- but more importantly- it would have gone national- recalls- and machine standards would have changed.ainos2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12798560227077690801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010023645295877908.post-74915413861829843552009-09-24T02:17:42.405-04:002009-09-24T02:17:42.405-04:00wow i hope you got a hell of a settlement out of t...wow i hope you got a hell of a settlement out of that ;) thanks for sharing ♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976505265980969816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010023645295877908.post-90599173149899499452009-09-24T02:11:46.922-04:002009-09-24T02:11:46.922-04:00In 1981, I was packing in a plastics factory on a ...In 1981, I was packing in a plastics factory on a machine that made perfume caps for CK cologne. Some excess plastic did not drop from the mold, so I reached under to yank it out (Unsafe, but standard practice). Instead of the plastic giving way, it sprung back, and took my hand with it back into the mold. 7500 pounds of hydraulic pressure in that mold press crushed my hand. Because I was injured and in shock, when the mold opened, I could not move my hand fast enough to avoid one of the steel rods that the mold traveled on from punching through my hand as well. That rod got me just above the wrist between my thumb and index finger. A fraction of an inch lower, and my hand and I would have been seperated.<br /><br />Oddly enough, I didn't feel normal pain, just an excruciating pressure. I made a funny out of it all when the paramedics tried to wheel me out of the plant. I told them (salted with much F-bombs) that they were either rookies, blind or dumber than a head of cabbage..."I can walk just fine- my hand is injured not my legs, you idiots!"<br />I remember it all, up until I got into the ER, where my mother was waiting for me. She says I went postal after the Dr mentioned the possibility of amputation. They had to get 2 orderlies to subdue me. She said that I stood up on the table, cursed out the Dr and told him that all I needed was a stitch or 2.<br />The reality- the pressure from the crush blew out all the meat and innards of my hand, broke and shattered many bones and severed a major nerve branch.ainos2https://www.blogger.com/profile/12798560227077690801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010023645295877908.post-31160946374719937112009-09-18T01:56:47.003-04:002009-09-18T01:56:47.003-04:00I definitely agree with Nihrida.
