thumbs up for PPE

today when cutting my way through some ivy on a Larch tree my 200t kicked back and flipped right towards me and hit me above the brow on the helmet. held it two handed in the correct places and wearing visor etc. always happens when you least expect it.

first time it happened to, didnt know it was so quick :-)

AlvinD, a short piece of branch hit me on the side of the helmet, from a chipper today. Lucky I had a lid on. It came back quicker than I threw it in. Lesson learned, stand to the side of a chipper.

Now if you had been in the US, you would have been in serious trouble. I don't think that I have ever seen a picture or video of a tree surgeon with proper PPE on there!

@likeitorlumpit, thats what i was thinking. i forgot to take a picture of it after. the visor mesh wasnt shredded but the bracket that holds the visor to the helmet had split in two so ive no idea if it worked or not...
