This has to be a joke

I also had an idea, put a lifting eye on top and it will be good for getting a lift up the tree on crane jobs.

I'm kind of happy to mock whilst being slightly worried that these will become a requirement in future - "You know people used to laugh at chainsaw trousers" and all that......

I believe 37 people died in Germany last year purely from felling dead/dying beech trees. Due to the hot dry summers they've had over the past few years rapid die back is becoming quite a severe issue. They've now banned the use of wedges for felling beech in this condition, and it's mandatory to have a winch. 

It looks utterly ridiculous, but it's a solution to a problem. A far greater problem than the two ropes palava in the UK.

A few benefits:

1. Make it solid and it will keep you dry in the rain.

2. Open casket still possible if you get walloped by a big one.

3. Use as a stretcher.

4. Lie down in the grass without getting soaked.

5. Add straps and clips for carrying your gear.

6. Mount a floodlight/flashing beacon on the top for working at night and roadside safety.

Could be fun in the snow on a steep slope, sort of inverted luge, great while pissed , never knowing where you will end up.

Maybe a little over engineered but stranger things have been added to H&S over here recently.
