Investigation Summary
An employee was using a chain saw to trim a tree that he had cut down earlier. After cutting the first limb, he walked toward the next limb and stepped into a hole. The saw sped up as his hand gripped the trigger, and the blade started moving. The employee fell forward into the blade, severing his jugular vein. He died of his injuries.
