[TheForge] Upside down Press - oh what a tangled web weweave

[David E. Smucker]

Amen,  We had a operator killed on a water hydraulic extrusion press.  Now 
this was a high pressure high volume system but there is always the risk 
there.  It is what we called a high risk, low likelihood accident.  The man 
was still dead.  In this case it was a fitting failure.
