Narrative

EE was using a chain saw to cut a tree approx 18-20"" in diameter. When the tree fell, a grapevine that was unseen in the top of the tree pulled a dead tree approx 6-8"" in diameter down and struck EE, knocking him to the ground. When EE hit the ground, he fell on a rock that caused a laceration over right eye, requiring 7 stitches.
