Abstract: At 9:33 a.m. on September 8, 2014, an employee was at a construction site observing the digging of a trench for the instillation of piping. He was standing approximately 30 feet away near a paved roadway. During digging a skidsteer struck the end of a plastic six inch pipe that was lying beside the road where the employee was standing. The pipe pushed against two other adjacent pipes. The compression force of the three pipes being pushed together caused one of the pipes to become airborne. The falling pipe struck the employee, who fell backwards and struck his head on the paved road. Impact with the pavement caused damage to the employee's brain stem that stopped vital body functions and resulted in his death.
