Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was standing approximately 5 to 6 ft behind a coworker who was using a 10 lb sledge hammer to knock metal wedges from a tractor tire and axle. As the coworker struck the axle, a steel chip broke off the hammer, flew back, and struck Employee #1 in the chest. The chip severed the employee's aorta. He died of internal bleeding approximately 10 minutes later.
