Not had any myself, though i have witnessed someone cutting there rope and droping a ms200t from 40ish feet

 

Try throwing a two hour old ms200t out to catch the lanyard, letting it run thru your hand then realising you haven't clipped it to your harness, 45ft :scared:

One of my staff unhooked the smaller of my 2 Greenmech chippers (as pictured in the 'chipper advice' thread) from the truck when it was 3 weeks old without applying the handbrake, it proceeded to roll backwards down the customers driveway and smash straight through their garage door and finally came to rest against said customers tumble dryer! One or two tiny scratches was all that was to be found on the chipper but the garage door was f*cked!:scared:
