Event: 08/29/1990

Employee ejected and landed on top of backhoe

Employee #1, a backhoe operator, was backfilling an excavation at a Canby, OR, construction site. As the operator turned the backhoe while moving in reverse, the front left tire dropped into the excavation. Because the bucket was full and elevated, the backhoe slid forward and downward. As the bucket struck a 4 ft retaining wall, the operator was thrown out of the seat and onto the top of the backhoe. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
