Saw the rescue chopper go out today for this:

North Suffolk man injured in chainsaw horror

 

30 October 2009 16:00

 

A MAN was airlifted to hospital today (Friday) after severing his arm with a chainsaw while trimming hedgerow. Doctors were flown to the scene in Knodishall, near Saxmundham, to give life-saving first aid to the man who had lacerated an artery in his left arm after losing grip of the chainsaw.

From the Lowestoft Journal

 

Dont know if he's a professional or not, lets hope he's ok though!

Hope he's ok!! IMO there's nothing more dangerous in this job than reducing big hedges!! Like when your scramblin about in a great big conifer hedge!! I often think "If i had an accident now,how on gods earth would they rescue me?"
