Sad news. Stay safe!

Very sorry indeed to hear this. Fall into a river and you expect to get out alive, fall from 15ft and you'd expect to survive as well, albeit with some injuries, but falling from 15ft, into a river, and be tied in to the tree is just the stuff of nightmares. Feel for all involved in this.

Jesus. That’s grim.

Very sad indeed. Though I think it was good that his brother was there. If he’d been on a different job, he’d always have wondered what if. At least he knows, they did all that was possible to save him. Though that of course, will be of little comfort.

Saw this on FB a few weeks back.
Does make you think. I’ve worked on many, many trees next to and overhanging water, last time was only last week and I had that sad story constantly on my mind.
