Investigation Summary
A birch tree approximately 50 ft high and 24 in. in diameter was cut down so that Employee #1, a skidder operator, could execute a turn more easily. The birch fell against a 50 ft maple. The right limb of the maple sprang down, and the felled tree continued to fall. The maple then sprang back, breaking loose a rotten limb that flew approximately 50 ft to where Employee #1 was standing in front of the skidder. A coworker watched the limb fly through the air and strike and kill the employee.
