Abstract: On July 26, 2012, an employee was working for the Mast Brothers Logging Company. He was limbing felled trees on one section of a worksite. After completing that, he moved into the landing area for trees being harvested with a feller-buncher. While he was limbing the trees on the active loading area, he could not be seen by the operator of the feller-buncher. The operator harvested a large tree and placed it onto the skidder pile on top of the employee, killing him instantly with a crushing head wound. The rescue squad reported the employee dead at the site.
