Investigation Summary
On September 8, 1998, Employee #1 was killed when bucking a tree down the hill. The root wad rolled down the hill because it was neither secured nor chocked to prevent movement once it was bucked from the blow down. The root wad threw Employee #1 and pushed him against one of the two live standing trees, enclosing but not pinning him against the tree and root wad. Employee #1 wiggled out from between them and slid further down the slope due to the steepness of the terrain. Employee #1 was at the base of the hill when he bucked the tree.
