Nutritional Additives · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

I was operating a hand held electric drill when the 1/2 inch drill bit caught in the hole. The drill snapped and spun around smashing my hand and wrist between the drill and the forklift r.o.p. and breaking the 1/2 inch bit. My hand and wrist instantly turned black and blue and started to swell.
