MINER WAS INVOLVED IN CLEARING OPERATIONS. LOGS WERE CONNECTED BY A CHOKER CHAIN TO A CAT D9-G DOZER WHICH THEN DRAGGED THE LOGS TO A COLLECTION AREA. A LOG WAS BEING DRAGGED WHEN THE END CLOS EST TO THE CHOKER CHAIN WEDGED UP AGAINST A TREE STUMP. THE FREE END OF THE LOG WHIPPED AROUND AND STRUCK THE MINER IN THE BACK AS HE WAS WALKING IN THE WORK AREA.
