Abstract: On May 10, 2007, an employee, an operator was rolling asphalt on a four lane state route operating a HAMM Roller Serial Number 96102. The employee was driving close to the edge of the asphalt where to the right of the roller was a 6 inch drop-off to concrete. The front drum of the roller slid down the edge to the concrete and he corrected it by steering to the left. The rear roller went off the edge and the seat sits right above the roller. The impact of the roller on the next level threw the employee off the roller. The employee's right foot was run over by the rear roller. The employee was not wearing his seat belt. The employee was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for multiple fractures in his right foot and released.
