Lucky man

[dadio]

The first thing that fell was his baseball hat, then a few seconds later the saw went sailing.. Seems like the only thing that saved him from hitting the trunk hard was that the tail of his climbing line was dropping through a crotch on the side he was making the cut.. his swing must have been stopped by the limb falling on the tail of the line.. he might have died otherwise, hanging upside down and unconscious for how long before they could get him down.. Lanyard or no lanyard he still broke the lowering line by leaving all that slack.. so that was the first mistake. of course the lack of a second tie in (lanyard) could have killed him, so that is not to be taken lightly.. I wonder if he realizes how lucky he is to be alive.. noticed he was at least wearing a hard hat when in the post action comments.. Winder if he still does tree work?
