Hand Got Stuck Inside Meat Grinder

Man's hand pulled into meat grinder. A young man in Taiwan learned about the dangers of kitchen equipment the hard way after getting his hand caught in the jaws of a meat grinder. The 22-year-old sir named Chen had just graduated from culinary school and recently joined his uncle's staff at a turkey rice restaurant. Demonstrating good hygiene, Chen always made sure to wear gloves whenever he handled meat in the kitchen. However, it was his adherence to health codes that may have cost him the use of his hand. On May 18, Chen was preparing some turkey meat when his glove became ensnared in the grinder.

The meat-mincing machine relentlessly pulled the rest of the glove, with Chen's hand inside of it, farther into its metal belly. Chen's uncle immediately unplugged the grinder and in a panic called firefighters to help. To avoid doing more damage to Chen's hand, the responders opted to take him to the hospital while still attached to the machine. A specialist helped disassemble the meat grinder, but no word yet on whether doctors were able to save Chen's hand. Say no to safe spaces on YouTube. Support TomoNews at patreon.com slash tomonews.
