Employee #1 was working for a logging contractor as a choker setter on a yarder. Chokers were set on the ends of logs so that they could be moved up the hillside to the landing at the yarder. Employee #1 had his back to the load of logs ("a turn") being moved up to the yarder, when the turn hit a stump. One of the logs upended and turned sideways, striking Employee #1 on the back. Employee #1 sustained three fractured ribs. He was not paying attention to the turn going in, and he was too close to the turn as it was moving. | |||||||
