Employee's leg is amputated in logging yarder

At approximately 8:45 a.m. on July 19, 2004, Employee #1 and other members of a logging crew had down-rigged a 6150 Thunderbird yarder and had started to move it off it's leveling cribbing when Employee #1 observed an item that was about to be run over.

He was transported by helicopter to a local hospital and then to OSHU in Portland, OR where he was hospitalized.
