Investigation Summary
On March 30, 2005, Employee #1, a tree trimmer and equipment operator, was cutting a tall pine tree with a pole saw. He was working from the elevated bucket of a truck mounted aerial lift. During this process, a large section of the tree fell over the bucket, causing it to break and detach from the truck's boom. The bucket tipped over, and Employee #1 fell out of it from a height of approximately 40 ft to 45 ft. Employee #1 punctured his lung and died on enroute to the hospital.
