The authors present a casuistry of the injury endangering the life, which was caused by the unusual mechanism. The injured person was pulled inside of a conveyer and while shifting, not only his arm and physical (brachial) plexus was damaged, but he was also and especially, strangled by his clothes and he was seriously asphyxiated, which origin was in the first phase unexplainable.
