CANAL FULTON: An employee of Canal Fulton Provision, a meat-processing facility at 2014 Locust St., had his right arm caught in a meat grinder Wednesday morning, Fire Capt. Ray Durkee said.

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.
Assisting the Canal Fulton Fire Department were members of the Lawrence Township, Jackson Township, Clinton and North Lawrence fire departments.

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.

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).
