I've seen my boss do this a few times on the forklift, I never have. I don't understand why you wouldn't just let it hit something...it would probably stall if you left it. This was a mixture of stupidity, inexperience and the guy was just unlucky.

By: detroitsports77. on 30 Sep 08, 18:52:24
i actually saved a kids life once, he pulled up parallel to a 40yard dumpster and he climbed up in between the safety cage and the lip of the container, (why ill never know) anyway, his knee hit the shifter with the wheels turned, and it pinned him in the chest, without even thinking i jumped on the forklift threw it in reverse and watched him fall to the ground wheezing, he had to go to the hospital but he turned out ok. you shouldve seen the bruise!! it was huge!

By: woofybigj. on 18 Sep 08, 00:34:56
I guess we aren't used to building roads like that on this side. Probably the overall temporary nature of the construction makes sense. But even then if a temporary method is used then full reclamation back to original contours should take place and I have seen a lot of forestry road that didn't even meet that minimum when deactivated, I am probably biased when I see the rules I have to abide by and those which forestry allows for wood cutting conglomerates. Thanks for the info, I learned a bit.

By: Oceanside31. on 14 Sep 08, 12:22:26
It looks to me like poor water managment as well as poor puncheon placement. As you can see on the map it looks to me like a culvert was to be placed in the area of work wich would be the cause of water saturation of the soil. As for woofybigj commment. A properly punched and ballasted road is very stable as long as the water has been managed. To full width strip and endhaul a heavily spoil area is insane if you can overland.

Using puncheon for ...
By: Oceanside31. on 14 Sep 08, 12:09:37
Using puncheon for road building is called overlanding, you have to do so because the spoil is to deep and if you were to do a full width strip you would have no where for the water to go when you were done, besides the huge costs for end hauling the material away would be uneconomical. As well there is nothing wrong with puncheon roads as long as its done correctly and enough ballast is used to hold up the logging trucks. Poor water managment and poor puncheon placement here in my opinion.

By: woofybigj. on 21 Apr 08, 19:48:57
Has anyone asked why BC forestry allows the use of "Puncheon" in road building. Anyone else, myself included involved in the oilfield on the otherside of the mountains knows that burying wood is the biggest no no you can do. (Unless its muskeg then its called corduroy). So "WCB" how about making them remove the wood,strip the soil properly and key in the fills, that way the hoe is always on a solid and stable surface

By: munro290. on 26 Jan 08, 18:29:09
I believe that the structure on the cab was only a (FOPS)Falling object protective structure, WCB dosent require a (ROPS)roll over protective structure on a track hoe. I have been operating excavators and cats for the past 15 years in road construction and none of the exavators have a ROPS, just a FOPS required to work in the bush.

Just awful, feel so bad for that kid and his family. I am glad I made it through all my "learning experiences" ok. It really is up to all of us to throw in our 2 cents and mentor and train these new workers properly. Learning to do by failure first, just isn't and option, do it right or don't even start the work.

What a terrible way ...
By: DanielJaegerFilms. on 29 Aug 08, 22:57:51
What a terrible way to die! I've operated chippers before, and here's what I have to say: ALWAYS, ALWAYS have 2 or more people with you on the ground near the chipper when operating it. They could have stopped the thing in an emergency like that.

why not have them tie off with a harness, like a roofer does

I was in a tree once when the ground man threw my rope in the chipper by accident. Luckily the foreman was watching and jerked my rope out just in time. What a frantic experience it was watching my rope unwind into the chipper.

By: BeKozMoKramerDatsWhy. on 14 Aug 08, 12:47:49
I wonder if the worker was an immigrant. They have a higher rate of accidents due to lack of knowledge about the equipment they work with. These jobs such as a ground man is entry level and take no experience. Tree climbing takes skill and practice. Poor guy died after a few days on the job. I bet the foreman didn't train him well.

By: scootbeast. on 09 Aug 08, 12:12:00
Thank God for brains!! The first chippers I worked with had no feed drums. It taught us respect for the chipper. With no feed drums, you have no time to stop the feed. At least the drums let you hit the safety bar. Now, you have to be a MORON to go through a chipper.

such a nasty way to go! please who ever you are be safe and be seen. we all see kids using stuff in the work place that they shouldnt be using i.e. fork lifts, i nearly got impaled by a young kid on a forklift that thought he was driving a go cart! yes i gave him a big slap! i drive for a living to keep my family, newbys shud be partnerd up with someone who they can learn from, not just thrown into a job and expected to do it like a professional. health and safety first!!!

By: martynbiker. on 18 Jul 08, 15:37:12
Chippers are a great tool, but a dangerous one too. I note the guy had only been on the job " a few days".... You would not let a person drive a car without a license or training, or use a chainsaw without PROPER training.. likewise, this accident COULD have been prevented if the operator had only 'played by the rules'

By: cavemania. on 03 Jul 08, 16:30:57
Ive got a 12" vermeer drum chipper. The sales rep told me a story about a 14yr old boy who went thru a chipper. He was working with his dad on his farm. The kid stood on the feed tray as his old man drove to the next tree. He slipped, engaged the feed roller and went thru feet first.They didnt find much of him.

By: dsdahustla. on 30 Jun 08, 17:30:25
most accidents occur with this type of chipper vs. the old "whisper" chipper. you would think otherwise, but a whisper chipper will earn an operators respect the first time it snatches a glove off. its so loud too. the roller type is more quiet and draws brush in slower. you should always wear leather gloves not "gauntlet" or cloth gloves.

By: Dawgie101. on 28 Jun 08, 14:21:03
i think that the feed table should be raised at an angle and the safety bars moved a little out ward that way the only way a person could be dragged in is if they were lifted off the ground and dropped in but with the safety bar further out making it easyier to stop the engines

By: mikel7482. on 17 Jun 08, 02:26:05
i do this kind of work for a living i work with a bandit chipper its a pretty big one it will take whole trees up to 18 inches round these machines deserve ur attention and respect if u dont do this then ur as good as dead.this is a very unfortunate accident to happen to this bloke i couldnt imagine what would have been going through his mind while this was happening to him he must have been so scared.my heart goes out to this mans family and friends.

By: drugaria. on 09 Jun 08, 19:59:24
chippers are excellent machines when operated properly, however they shouldn't be operated if the safety devices are non functional. A lot of care should be taken when operated and the operator needs to use common sense and be familiar with all standart operating procedures. Always load from the side and make sure there is a second person nearby in case of emergency
