Wedge First – ‘Freed’ tree killed forest workers

Date:

It was a series of unfortunate circumstances that cost the life of a forest worker in a forest in Neukirchen an der Vöckla. He wanted to “free” a tree, which then fell directly on him.

Three Serbian guest workers were felling trees in the forest in the Vöckltal. A 57-year-old cut off a trunk, which also fell, but became trapped in another tree slightly lower.

Tree broke loose and fell on workers
The branches became so entwined that they could not be easily separated. So the worker decided to fell the tree underneath to bring down the trunks and separate them at the same time.

A fatal mistake: the tree, which had already been felled, came loose during the work and fell straight on the head of the Serb. The helmet didn’t help either. The emergency doctor, alerted by colleagues, could only determine the man’s death.
