Abstract: On December 9, 2002, Employee #1, the owner and operator of a blacktop paving machine, was descending down a steep grade and lost control of the paver.

At the second attempt to put the paver into reverse to stop or slow it down, the paver jolted, catapulting Employee #1 up over the top. The paver continued moving forward, running over Employee #1, who was lying directly in front of it on the ground. Employee #1 sustained fatal injuries.
