On or about April 30, 2015, an employee was helping a second employee position a fallen log so that the grapple of the front-end loader could pick the log up from the ground. The second employee struck the log with such force that the log moved horizontally in a right-to-left sweeping motion, striking the first employee in the leg area and resulting in two breaks to the left leg and a broken right ankle.
