Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:00 a.m. on December 31, 1997, Employee #1, a chaser, was limbing and bucking logs on a landing when a skidder drove up, pulling a turn of logs. Employee #1 was walking away from the skidder toward a loader that was decking logs when he somehow became caught between the loader's swinging counterweight and the log deck. There were no witnesses to the accident, but when the skidder operator saw that Employee #1 was pinned, he immediately stopped his machine and told the loader operator to do the same. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene.
