The accident was reported shortly after 11:30 a.m. Martin was removed from the machine at 2:45 p.m.
Martin was taken by helicopter to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.
Durkee said Life Flight brought in an orthopedic surgeon.

I pray this young man is able to recover.
Hope the ABJ posts a follow up to this.
We sure hope this young man has a good recovery.
Wow, the next time you think you're having a bad day you can say to yourself, "at least I don't have my arm stuck in a meat grinder". Kind of makes your day not feel as bad.
I wish him a speedy and full recovery.
they had to remove part of his arm.
get well soon brother :(
and all this time they've been telling me that was black angus.
Prayers for a speedy recovery.
I pray for him.
On a lighter note... Godfather, that was funny. You know, they put diabetics in the grinder... to make the sweet meat in our burgers( insert name of local chain here).
MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm....sausage...
He's been disarmed. Lets hope he's not defeated.
You people are sicker than i thought.
A sick mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Eric...your in my prayers and thoughts. i love you buddy.
