Event: 12/18/1989

Employee crushed to death under skidder wheel

At approximately 2:45 p.m. on December 18, 1989, Employee #1 was operating a John Deere, model # JD 440-C, log skidder in the woods. Employee #1 was found dead lying on his back between the skidder's left front wheel and left rear wheel on an approximately 10 degree grade. The skidder, facing uphill, was running and in neutral. The hand brake was not set. Employee #1 had hooked the towing cables around a tree and apparently was getting back on the skidder when he slipped on the skidder step or just fell to the ground. Employee #1's abdomen had been crushed by the skidder's left front wheel. Icy conditions prevailed the day before.
