Abstract: At approximately 9:30 a.m. on April 6, 1994, Employee #1 was working as a chaser on the landing of a Berger C-19 yarder. He had finished a buck and was standing between the yarder and the loader waiting for an incoming turn of logs. As the carriage came over the edge of the landing, Employee #1 noted that the skyline wasn't slack and the motor was revving. As he turned to run he was hit by a log. When the carriage hit the main sheave, the yarder engineer slacked his lines, which then caused another log to strike Employee #1 as he lay on the ground to the side of the yarder. Employee #1 was transported to Mercy Medical Center and was treated for a broken shoulder and chest trauma. Apparently the yarder operator was distracted and did not see the turn enter the landing.
