climber killed

[David Humphries]

I'll chuck a couple of quid in too. We're all only one step away from it. Can somebody on here a bit more tech-savvy than me sort a collection out?

 

Nice sentiment, but Johns post was from 18 months ago Felix.

 

 

 

Still rings a very sad note though, and a good wake up call to us all.

my heart goes out to his family and freinds

Very Sad indeed. Condolances to all who knew him and his family.

very sad , just make you think

[Czlowiek Drzewo]

Sad. very young also.

 

the report said the chainsaw kicked back striking him in the neck. It seems that many of the people that have died from kickback in trees have hit themselves in the neck.

 

just off the top of my head - there are protective chainsaw sleaves on the market..why not make ballistic nylon log sleeved tops with neck protectors.

I think it would have more issues with the heat, even today, mid-November, I was down to a t-shirt in the mewp. Surely better training and more care taken with the saws is the key, not more wrapping up in cotton wool?
