As the skidder traveled down the hill, its speed increased. The coworker operating the spray nozzle jumped off the skidder. Employee #1 rode the skidder down the embankment, across a road, and up the other side of the embankment, where it came to a stop. Employee #1 jumped off and was run over by the skidder as it coasted back down the embankment. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the accident site.
