Investigation Summary
At 8:40 a.m. on March 9, 1993, Employee #1 was a member of a three-man logging crew working on a high lead system logging operation. Employee #1 (the hooktender at the site) and the other members of the rigging crew had set a turn of logs that included a bonus of two maple logs set directly behind a large maple stump, creating a dead hang-up. The yarder was unable to pull the turn so the logs were pulled approximately 10 feet back away from the stump, at which time the go-ahead signal was given again. The logs struck the stump and swung sideways towards Employee #1 and the rigging slinger. The rigging slinger dove to the ground and the longest log in the bonus went over him and knocked off his hard hat. Employee #1 was fatally struck. He was transported to McKenzie Willamette Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.
