Slit throat smashed shins

Rob d the sling on the pulley failed.

 

The injured is doing fine he's been in the job for over 20yrs and I know a few of you on here have worked with him and possibly been under his wing , so it shows that it can happen to the best of us,he went on a bender last night drinking through a straw as for the groundie he may be having a career change:001_smile:

Shame to hear about the groundie

 

...is b*oody scary when an accident happens on site though

thats the thing all very well having tickets for first aid or to get someone out of a tree etc but if your going to faint or as he did go into shock they aint going to be much help..

If they where working out at a reserve etc with no-one around he wouldn't be here and that's a fact and his young kid would be missing a dad....

Nptc courses down the morgue or a field hospital ain't going to happen so I guess that part of our safety is in the lap of the gods

I hope Mark is ok and makes a good recovery

How many of us overload re-directs like that? Can happen so easy and so quickly when it does. ATB to your mate

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

weve just invested in a length of 20mm for pulleys, we used whoppies and slings before, glad we did now.

 

all the best to your mate.

[Andy Collins]

Full circle then Tony, back to the old ways, perhaps the old guys did know best after all

My pulling line is 28mm, you can't beat a bit of girth.
