Abstract: On February 8, 2007, Employee #1 was working for a logging outfit. He was attempting to attach a cable to a felled tree that, in the topping process, still had a small flap connecting the trunk to the top. As he reached under the trunk of the tree to get the other end of the cable, the tree gave way and fell on his chest, killing him. Death was due to asphyxia.
