Employee observed gap between belt wiper and belt while system was operating. The employee leaned toward the belt for a closer look and the employee's glove was snagged by the belt. Which caused his forearm to get pinched between the return roller and the belt wiper resulting in a broken right distal ulna bone in the right forearm.
