Poor kid. I wonder if he'll get worker's comp for life.

Note the phrasing -- "employee ... has severed his arm"
That's different from when an "SUV kills grandma" or when a "gun kills toddler". In those incidents, humans are not at fault, unlike when an innocent pasta machine has to stand by while an employee severs their own arm.

>employees are trying to figure out how the machine got activated while he was cleaning it.
My guess is it was still plugged in or the breaker was energized. Stupidity wins this round.

Companies making machines like this take safety very seriously. I once testified in an industrial accident where the injury occurred after the operator enlisted the help of two co-workers to circumvent safety features built into the machine. Sad, but stupidity sometimes has a heavy price.

Could have been worse. NEVER order the peckeroni pizza there.

I worked at a large butcher shop as a teen. I calculated that for the career-guys there, they averaged one lost finger for every 5 years of work.
It was a real motivation to further my education.

For a start, but nothing will buy him his arm back.

What was he doing? The restaurant should know that machines should be cleaned by employees older than 18.
Wonder who is at fault? OSHA is going to be involved.
