While operating the saw, Employee #1 was struck on the left side of his neck by the moving saw chain. His jugular vein was severed. He tried to get help from the closest person, who was 50 yards away, by waving and holding his neck. The other employee saw him, but by the time he could get help Employee #1 was close to death from loss of blood. He died in a few minutes.
