Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:00 a.m. on April 22, 2005, Employees #1 was on a tractor. He was pulling a felled tree. Employee #1 started to feel sick. He dismounted the tractor and walked away, while another employee resumed operations. The employee on the tractor was pulling the felled tree, which had approximately 20 in. at the base. He made a slight turn and the tree being pulled rolled over a standing pine, which had approximately 6 in. in diameter at the base. The massive weight and momentum of the tree being towed caused this smaller pine tree to whip downward toward the ground, where Employee #1 was walking. It struck Employee #1 on the head and killed him.
