Investigation Summary
A tree trimmer was in the upper portion of a tree, making an initial trunk cut with a chain saw. The tree, believed to be a pine, was to be removed in sections. One end of a rope was tied around the section being cut, the other end was being held by a person on the ground. After the cut was completed, the cut section toppled to the side where the tree trimmer was secured, crushing him between the remaining truck and the cut section. He was hospitalized with rib and leg fractures.
