Investigation Summary
On August 1, 1997, Employee #1, the only faller for a small logging operation, had just finished the back cut on a tree when he was stung on the head, chest, and leg by a swarm of hornets. In a panic, he began to run. He then heard a swishing of limbs and realized that the tree he had been cutting was falling toward him. Employee #1 dove to the right, next to the top of a downed tree, but the falling tree landed across his buttocks. He sustained eight fractures to the pelvic area. Employee #1 said that while he was running he had not considered that the tree might fall.
