UPDATE: Man OK after being pinned by bulldozer in Woodland | The Columbian
Woodland— Doward Miller lived to talk about his Sunday misadventure.
Oh, I'm a little sore. Considering I had a 10,000-pound dozer on me, I feel pretty lucky, Miller, 62, said Sunday evening after his accident at about 3:10 p.m.
Here’s what happened.
Miller was driving his Caterpillar bulldozer onto a trailer to move it to another spot on his 8 acres at 272 Bryant Hill Road in Woodland. It started to slide off and then went on its top with Miller underneath.
“The trailer has to be perfectly flat and it had just a little bit of a slope, and when you drive the dozer up on the trailer, if there is any slope, it’s like a skating rink,” Miller said.
===========================================================
I used to see that almost all trailers that carried Cats had wood on the ramps and bed. Don't see that so much any more. Maybe it would have helped.
