Not good

I hope these threads remind people about how potentially dangerous our job can be, so to keep them on they're toes/ stop them being complacent.

Inevitable but horrible.

Be safe chaps.

RIP. keep safe.

[Gnarlyoak]

Aye, sometimes it can be a thin line and a split second between going home safe in the evening or ending up in A&E or worse.

 

Its been 11 weeks since my accident and I'm still healing although I am hoping to be back working again from January. I know from my own experience, that it was sheer luck that I did'nt end up more seriously injured.... or worse.

 

My sympathies to the family and friends of the poor chap in Oz.

Not good, so close to Christmas to, not that it matters what time of the year just so sad

 

Again stay safe everyone

No that's a different accident. From what I have read the climber took the top out of a tree and was still tied in. I haven't heard of the cherry picker incident. A sad day even more so...
