[Taupotreeman]

Not that I'm one to comment as I often work on my own but where was his back up? Could have been worse, glad he was OK.

[plippy]

[Ian C]

Why was such a young lad working on his own on a tree that size? madness!

[Le Sanglier]

I doubt he was on his own. News programs are often sketchy on detail.

[Ewan Murray]

was it you ewan

 

Yeah guilty as charged haha not really ladders dont reach that high!

[swinny]

How or what has he done

 

Looks like he knocked that big limb out with him strapped to it.... ??

[dadio]

I think the big limb caught his life line on that stub, which tried to suck him around the limb, but he got caught, so the line coming through the stub became the "tie off point" on the limb and it just hung there balancing from that point, with all that weight tugging in his saddle..

[dadio]

ps... he's no doubt rethinking his career choice...
