A young woman Rafaela Alves Dos Santos was killed at work when she slipped in a commercial potato masher and was trampled on by the engine mount.

Her current age was 24 years.
Died After She Fell Into An Industrial Potato Chipper At Work
The young woman was crushed by the engine’s assistance when she fell onto the conveyor belt carrying the potatoes to be cut into chips and suffered serious head injuries.
Rafaela, from Santa Luzia, do Itanhy in impoverished northeastern Brazil, was thrown into the engine mount at high speed after the powered-down engine started automatically.
This is confirmed by a colleague who was standing next to her at the time.
Other factory workers tasked with keeping things running can reportedly not explain why the machine turned on automatically when it did.
Bem Brasil Alimentos, the company that hired Rafaela through a third party, expressed regret and announced an investigation into the incident was underway.
Rafaela had trained as a nursing technician, but in May she, her older sister, and two cousins made the decision to migrate to Partridges in search of a better life.
Her mother, Carla Cristina Dias Alves, told local media, “She was pursuing her future, pursuing her dreams, working in her field, and taking care of me.”
Carla added: “Rafaela was my sweetheart. My other girls were jealous because we had a very amazing relationship. She was a loving and confident girl who loved to dress up and shop for shoes, clothes, and perfume.”
“Every morning he texted me, ‘Good morning, my love.’ I didn’t say hello to you today.”
Carla said it was the local media, not Bem Brasil Alimentos or the company she had hired, that informed her of her daughter’s death.
