Homeowner Breaks Leg

[armchairarborist]

i don't find any serious injury funny, thats why its called serious isn't it? i would class this one as a stupid injury and that makes me laugh my pants off at the floppy leg dude.. harsh maybe, but rope/harness for correct positioning would have made his bad cut into a near miss, a correct cut would have done the same as would a different rigging setup and a guy on the rope who knows what he is doing, any diy'ers out there reading this -please don't end up like this guy, get a pro in..

Regardless of all else,to avoid that accident all he needed to do was read the first page of the saw manual - "don't use a chainsaw up a ladder".

sometimes it make you think some people don't have any sense where do people draw the line, maybe some educating would be good for him

Hummm tree work with ladders? it had to end bad...

Saw the same thing happen before, but the ladders had tarmac stains on the bottom, so you know who was at the top.
