Investigation Summary
On August 9, 2006, Employee #1, a laborer, was working for a landscaping business, operating a skid loader. He discovered there was a problem with the hydraulics that operates the bucket. While Employee #1 and the owner were troubleshooting the problem, Employee #1 stood under the raised bucket to access the foot control for the bucket. Employee #1 depressed the foot control with his hand, causing the bucket to slam down, crushing Employee #1 between the bucket and the front of the skid loader. Employee #1 was killed.
