Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using a Michigan front end loader to scrape down a primitive forest road. He backed the loader off the road onto the shoulder, which had a slope of approximately 15 degrees. Blade marks on the shoulder indicate Employee #1 dropped the bucket in an effort to stop the loader. The loader traveled 135 ft down the steep mountainside, at which point it overturned and continued downhill for a total distance of approximately 373 ft. Employee #1 was found at 355 ft and died of multiple injuries, especially to his head. The loader was not equipped with ROPS.
