Can't remember David, was many years ago, in a galaxy far far away..

 

IMO workin cranes is very very dangerous.

 

Online comrade of mine who specializes in crane assisted removals just died on the job recently.

October 31, 2013 - Haddonfield, NJ - 36 year old Cameron Lyons of Barrington was killed on the job when he fell from a tree while working for his company, Lyon and Son Tree Service.

 

Wonderful guy, extremely well equipped and knowledgeable. We used to argue a bit about the steel over synthetic choice for crane picks. With me the steel man of course, arguing against the dynamic slop in the line potential of synthetics, and my only use for synthetics being as an insulator if in proximity of a bare power line.

 

No specifics as yet on his accident other than he fell out of a tree hit the ground hard and died.

 

Rest in peace mate!

 

Good thread David.

Sad to hear that Jon, my thoughts go out to his family and colleagues.

 

.......IMO workin cranes is very very dangerous.....

 

 

Agreed, crane work (from my relatively limited experience) is a factor of our industry that should always be planned and risk assessed & have little if anything left to chance.

 

Like most things though, experience can often lead to a propensity for over confidence
