Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on March 12, 1991, Employee #1 was driving a farm tractor with a double-bladed chopper in tow through a peach orchard. He got off the tractor without turning off the engine or disengaging the power take-off (PTO). He was removing branch cuttings from the top of the chopper when his jacket and raincoat wrapped around a rotating PTO driveline. He was pinned between the driveline and the lower chopper housing for 2 hours as the driveline rotated inside his jacket and raincoat. He suffered multiple fractures of his ribs, collarbone, and arm, third-degree friction burns, and lung injuries. The employer was cited for a serious violation for failure to guard the three PTO driveline shafts.
