Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on November 2, 2000, Employee #1 was helping his employer to unload a Bobcat loader from a lowboy trailer. As the employer was unchaining the Bobcat, he asked Employee #1 to drop the ramps, which he did. The chain on the Bobcat became caught, and the employer concentrated on releasing it and did not notice Employee #1. Another coworker was standing to the right of the trailer watching the employer free the Bobcat. The employer then mounted the Bobcat and said that he was ready to back it off. He looked behind him and did not see Employee #1, so he assumed that he had gone to the office. As the employer began backing up and the rear wheels touched the top of the ramps, the coworker standing to the side screamed for him to stop. Employee #1 was found face down with his head under the right ramp and his feet under the left ramp. He suffered massive multiple fractures and internal injuries to his head, and was killed. There was no indication as to why Employee #1 was in that location.
