Abstract: Employee #1 was a 7 ft wide Tampo vibratory roller, model #RS28, to compact a 15 ft wide by 100 ft long stretch outside a structural fill area. He made one pass along an embankment and was making a second pass along the same stretch when apparently the rear left wheel went off the edge onto an approximate 45 degree slope. The roller followed the wheel over the edge and was sliding down the hill when it became caught on some dir and the machine overturned. Employee #1 became pinned under the roller and died of asphyxia. He was wearing a seatbelt, but the equipment was not built with ROPS.
