Caught in, under or between running or meshing objects

Employee reached in to clear some bags that were stuck in the machine. The machine had been stopping and starting, and while it was stopped for a noticeable period of time, EE thought is would be safe to retrieve the bags. Instead of shutting the machine off first, he reached in. The machine started again and the employee's hand was caught between the belt and the rollers.
