Abstract: On October 31, 2001, Employee #1 and Employee #2, loggers, were removing limbs from trees that had been felled. The two employees were approximately 100 ft apart from each other. Both, Employee #1 and #2, also helped the skidder operator hook up logs. After Employee #1 completed removing limbs and helping the skidder operator, he walked to an area that was 50-ft from the feller-buncher machine. The feller-buncher machine operator drove away to cut some trees. While backing the feller-buncher machine to its original location, one of the trees broke and fell on Employee # 1. Employee #1 died from crushing injuries.
