Investigation Summary
On August 24, 2010, Employee #1, who was employed as a choker setter for a trucking and logging company, was setting chokers on a yarder. Employee #1 set a choker on the butt cut of a 40-foot-long log and indicated to the rigging slinger that he was in the clear. The rigging slinger sounded the signal to carry the log to the yarder landing. Employee #1 placed himself down the hill from the log. The choker cut through the bark on the redwood log, and it slipped off the log, allowing the log to roll down the hill. Employee #1 was stuck by the rolling log and killed when the log rolled on him.
