Some very Tragic News

Yesterday 30th of March 2012, a young tree climber, Darryl Platton 21 years, was killed in a car crash whilst driving to the work site.

 

On behalf of the Swedish Arbcommunity I would like to express our deepest sympathies and thoughts with his family, friends and work colleagues and anyone else affected by this sad loss.

 

As Arborists we know that every day is a risk, but sometimes there is no explanation for a death and they come completely out of no where. This has really affected everyone involved in our trade as, luckily, accidents is a very rare occurrence in the Arbworld in Sweden.

 

The Swedish Arborist Federation SAF have decided to be naming the upcoming Rigging event trophy in memory of Darryl, and will have a minutes silence in memory of his life prior to the event.

 

Our thoughts are with you.
