Tree Accident

[igottacabstar]

I was told today of a tree accident in which a climber fell out of a tree.

 

First reports say his blakes hitch came undone and he plummeted to ground bouncing off branches as he went.

 

I was told he is very poorly, his hip was shattered and kidneys damaged.

 

Apparently he was from the Wakefield area and went under Acasia Tree something.

 

I have done searches and cannot find anything.

 

I wanted to hear the correct tale and to see if it was the blakes that failed, because I have always been unsure of the blakes.

 

Does anyone know anything of this accident.

 

Come on Pecontools - this is you you're talking about really isn't it:) I can just picture your new avatar, you screwed up in a little ball on the floor with a pile of rope on top of you and a 200t sticking out the top!:wave:

It wouldn't surprise me Cabstar, if anything can go wrong it will go wrong with me, I'm lucky that way. :wave:

not Aire Valley (based near LBA airport now, after i sold it) there is Acacia tree services nr wakefield/south leeds.

 

On a similar note a guy in Italy was killed on a golf course, owned by Fiat, when a tree fell on him while he was about to tee off, the first time ever the course had been open on a easter monday and the first time the guy had played a round of golf:tdown:
