Abstract: At approximately 4:30 p.m. on March 22, 1992, Employee #1, of Mt. Emily Seeds, Inc., was operating a Ford New Holland Inc., model L555, skid-steer front end loader. Apparently, he leaned forward and activated the foot control pedal, which lowered the lift arms.

Employee #1's head was crushed and he was killed.
