Investigation Summary
On March 3, 2005, Employee #1 and a coworker were using the skid steer equipment with forks to move palm trees. Employee #1 was on the outside of the skid steer, while the coworker, a skidder operator, was operating the skid steer. Employee #1 was steadying the palm trees as they were being moved. When they had to go between two trucks, the coworker felt the tines go over a "bump." When he looked down, he saw Employee #1's legs between the tires of the skid steer. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene.
