OMG...reasons to be careful!

Man sustains 'life threatening injuries' after he was crushed by a tree in Ascot | Ascot | News | Bracknell News ...perhaps resultant from the recent storms

 

Thoughts to the individual and families / friends concerned and in the hope he makes a full, and speedy, recovery.

 

Cheers..

Hope he's OK. Bit close to home this one.

Once again the words 'tree surgeon' are applied to a person carrying out works to a tree.

"unknown to him, the branch he was cutting was supporting another..." Sounds like he did a proper risk assessment then.

I don't suppose HSE are involved on this one?

Hope the guys OK and makes a full recovery, accidents do happen, even when all the correct checks and procedures are followed, even by the most experienced.

Very true, I know I've had a few close calls, you can't always see every possible outcome

If this were some random video on the net rather than a news report the comments would be completely different.
