Nasty Accident

[Andy Collins]

I just heard today through 2nd hand info, a local climber was reducing a line of conifers, somehow caught the saw on something which kicked the saw around into his belly. He got himself out of the hedge, was bandaged and rushed to hospital, having quite a nasty wound. Luckily he didnt pass out in the hedge, would have been a horrible rescue to perform. The person who relayed the story to me was working on site when this happened, hope to get more info soon.

In the mean time, be carefull out there!

Not the first, wont be the last:sad: Get well soon...bro

[Andy Collins]

Luckily(?) the chainsaw snagged his t-shirt, and clogged the chain, stopping it. Could have been far worse. Harry, if you're reading this, well done for keeping a cool head and sorting him out.
