"It was just a terrible freak accident"

 

Hardly!! A freak accident would have been if the limb fell off on its own while someone was underneath gardening. Cutting it off yourself and getting trapped is an accident waiting to happen more like not a freak one.

Arbtalkers – Register on the Daily Mail web-site and put these points across, a good opportunity (although a tragic one) to educate the public.

It would have been interesting to see how the fire crews removed the tree, it sounds to me as if it took them a while.

I was actually working in Burgess Hill yesterday and I could see the helicopter floating about and sirens all over the place I wonderd what had happend, now I know, such a horrible thing to hear of though, but at the same time as the old saying goes "leave it to the proffesionals"
