I challenge anyone who works professionally in trees to say they have not had a similar near miss :001_rolleyes:

 

I know for certain that, especially when I have a new groundie, things may not drop as planned or swing around - it has taken a few near misses to perfect the art of thinking several steps ahead and I am sure that there will be one or two more.

 

Sometimes there is no way of doing something without an extended element of risk involved. Of course you could stop and use a MEWP or crane but who would pick up the cost?

 

His leg looks very painful - not a very nice way to learn - hope he fully recovers and becomes an ambassador for the rest of us.

TBH can't agree with your first comment new groundie's should'nt be in the postion to cause such a scenario.

When any of our lead climbers are undertaking a dismantle then the a climber is the only guy to man the lowering rig not a newbie.

 

Fair play for mr utube for posting the vid laughed my nuts off once i got over the cringe moment.:lol:
