Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was felling a tree from the upper level of a ridge. As the tree fell it struck a smaller tree that was approximately 35 ft away and 25 ft lower in elevation on the ridge. The smaller tree bent away from Employee #1 but as the larger tree slid by, the smaller tree whipped back toward him. A limb on the smaller tree broke when struck by the larger tree and the limb was flung back striking the Employee #1 in the head. The force of the impact was so great that, even with head protection, the impact resulted in Employee #1's death.
