Abstract: On October 8, 2003, Employee #1 was part of a crew unloading a Bob Cat skid-steer loader from a utility trailer hitched to a dump truck. A coworker released the trailer from the hitch while the bob-cat was still on the rear end of the trailer. The weight of the loader caused the front end of the trailer to shoot upwards, and Employee #1's head became crushed between the trailer's tongue and the dump truck's frame, killing him.
