Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a partner in a tree trimming business, and two other partners were clearing fallen trees and brush at a private residence in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo. A 40 ft tall pine tree was leaning against the house. One of the partners climbed the tree and attached a come-along to release tension on the tree. The tree was then cut with a chain saw. As it started to fall, Employee #1 started to run, but was hit by the tree. He died of a crushed skull.
