Employee Is Killed When Mower Overturns And Pins Him

At approximately 3:20 p.m. on July 7, 2015, Employee #1 was mowing a cemetery lawn with a 4 wheel drive Toro Groundsmaster 328 D mower with a front deck mower arrangement. The mower had a rollover protection structure, but Employee #1 was not wearing the mower's seat belt. As he was riding the mower, it overturned on a slope that was measured in various places from 25 to 30 degrees slope. Employee #1 became trapped beneath the rollover protection structure and died from blunt force trauma to the torso with chest compression.
