Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was operating a paver when he lost control of the machine as it sped down a hill. He fell off, sustaining back injuries that required hospitalization. The paver had no brakes and was controlled entirely by gears, which is why Employee #1 was unable to bring it back under control. The gear shifter had popped into neutral, and once the machine gains speed in neutral it cannot be put back into gear to slow it down.
