Employee injured when struck by limbs on log

At 8:30 a.m. on April 13, 2000, Employee #1 was chasing logs on a landing. The yarder was attempting to land a turn of four logs. One of the logs in the turn had large limbs on it. As the yarder engineer lowered the turn on the landing, Employee #1, the chaser, approached the blind side of the yarder near the turn. The limbs on the one log caused it to swing outward, catching Employee #1 on the head and left shoulder. Employee #1 was conscious after the accident and asked to be taken in. The crew assisted him into the transport vehicle and took him to the Coquille Hospital. Employee #1 was diagnosed with a spinal fracture and a left scapula fracture. He was transported to Bay Area Hospital where he was treated and hospitalized.
