Investigation Summary
On December 18, 1998, Employee #1, a landing chaser, employed by a small logging contractor, was operating a yarder to remove the downed timber from the forest. At the time of the accident, Employee #1 had just put the other employees' lunches on the yarder carriage to send them down to where the employees were setting chokers. Employee #1 was standing next to the log loader, Komatsu, PC 250-6, when it moved toward Employee #1 and ran up on his left leg. Employee #1's left leg was amputated below his knee. Employee #1 stated that he was standing looking up at the carriage as it moved out of the landing area. Employee #1 could not explain why he stood so close to the log loader.
