Abstract: Employee #1, a swamper, was walking behind a gin pole truck guiding the driver as he backed up to help unload a compressor that was halfway off a tandem truck. Another swamper was on the bed of the tandem truck getting ready to do the hook up. When the truck was approximately 6 to 8 ft from the tandem, Employee #1 unhooked the #1 line from the pole truck. As the pole truck backed closer to the tandem, Employee #1 was pinned between both trucks. He sustained a crushing thoracic injury and died 54 days later.
