Final narrative
Two employees were unclogging the chipper after a rainstorm. One employee opened an access panel to the drum of the chipper to unclog it while the second employee went to the other side of the chipper. The first employee then shut the access panel. The motor was off, but the drum was still spinning. A piece of clogged brush kicked the panel open and struck the second employee in the forehead, resulting in multiple skull fractures.
