Another tragic death.

By the sounds of the story the guy was hard pushed to complete an under quoted job in an unrealistic time frame.

He tied in at the top of the tree,came down to put a gob in and must have left his tip in as the top went over...the top took him down 70 ft to his death.

Leaves a wife and 2 kids

Just bloody awful

Is this happening too often now..?

Thoughts..

Yeah read this before.  It is really hard to understand exactly what happened I guess.  Not sure trying to put blame on the job being underpriced is really fair but you can't deny it could have contributed.

70 odd trees in 4 days is a massive ask!!

 

So sad! Thoughts go out to his family!

too much to do with too little time and thinking too much that it matters so much to get it done -  leads to shortcuts and making simple mistakes - mistakes when playing our game can be life-changing experiences or this case life ending.  This stuff is tragic to read about, really sorry for his family.
