Investigation Summary
Employee #1 had started the wood chipper, heard a clicking noise, and observed the chipper for approximately 30 seconds. Internal problems caused damage to one knife and the paddles. The paddles sheared the mounting bolts and blew the upper housing off of the machine. The metal parts struck Employee #1, resulting in fatal head injuries. Employee #1 was 3 to 5 feet from the Morbark chipper, model 58.
