Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on January 31, 1991, Employee #1 was working on a downhill logging show, yarding second-growth timber on a slope of between 10 and 40 percent. A Washington 108 Skylock yarder with a Danebo MSP carriage was being used with a running skyline system and tail tree for lift. A turn of four logs was being yarded when it became hung up about 350 ft off the landing. The mainline eye broke out, causing the line to whip into the landing with great force. It struck Employee #1, who was located 38 ft to the side and behind the yarder, causing multiple injuries to his upper extremities. He was airlifted to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
