Investigation Summary
Employee #1 got off his forklift truck and walked over to the crane to watch it unload wood chips from a barge. The crane operator was taking up slack of the wire rope on a Lima 2400 crane with a clamshell bucket. The wire rope became caught underneath the shaft of the wire rope guide roller and sheared it off from the boom mass. The guide roller was projected through the air and struck Employee #1. He died.
