Investigation Summary
On April 18, 2008, Employee #1, a logger, was attempting to cut down a 60 foot tall by 9 inch diameter fir tree. The tree did not go in the intended direction, and instead fell off the stump at a 45 degree angle to the right. The tree fell into another fir tree and was hung up on the downhill side. Employee #1 told his cutting partner that he was going to cut down the tree that the hung up tree was in. As Employee #1 walked out to cut down the tree, the hung up tree fell out and struck Employee #1. The emergency action plan was activated and Employee #1 was transported by helicopter to the hospital, where he was treated for spinal injuries.
