Final narrative
On December 1, 2015, an employee and a coworker had cut down three trees. While they were cutting up the trees that lay on the ground, the employee's chain saw blade got pinched in a tree. The coworker, who was located upslope from the tree, made a cut in it to relieve the pinch pressure on the saw blade. When the cut was completed, the tree rolled down the slope and over the employee. He suffered bruises and abrasions to his face and head, as well as broken ribs.
