Investigation Summary
A three-man line clearing crew was removing trees and branches that had grown to within 3 feet of an energized, 115,000 volt transmission line. Both tree trimmers were using non-insulated tree saws to perform this task. After Employee #1 finished removing the branches he was to cut, he placed his rappelling rope over a 3 in. in diameter dead stub. The stub broke as the employee began to descend. He free-fell approximately 70 to 80 ft. He sustained multiple fractures and trauma.
