OMG! SAUSAGE FACTORY WORKER FALLS INTO THE MEAT GRINDER!

A sausage factory employee met a horrifying end after sliding feet-first into a meat grinder at an Oklahoma processing plant.

Michael Raper, 26, reportedly endured two hours of unimaginable agony Tuesday while co-workers mounted a frantic effort to extract him from the machine.

"He slipped and went into the machine. He was still conscious at the time," Diane Ferris, the aunt of Raper's fiancée, told Oklahoma City's KFOR. "So I can imagine the agony he was in, and he lost both of his legs in this accident."

Raper, a father of four, died of his injuries the following day.

The incident occurred at a Bar S Foods plant in Lawton, while Raper was cleaning the meat grinder, Bar-S said in a statement posted on KFOR's Web site.

The processed meats manufacturer bills itself as the maker of the "#1 selling hot dogs in America."

Local police and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are probing the incident.
