Take care out there guys!!

Reducing a small 15ft hornbeam tree yesterday and severed my arm with my topping saw. Ive never come across a tree with so many branches crossing each other causing so much tension and compression, this is what caught me out. Going for a operation to repair arm sunday. Just a reminder to take care out there. .

 

HI CJW hope the OPP goes well for you all the best CJW jon

I thought it was a joke at the start with the smilies and all, it looks a bit keen. Can you ask them to leave it till after Halloween

HI MATE that all most made sick mate hope you get better soon thanks jon

Bad one, done the same myself but not as deep. It happens.

Good luck with the recovery.

[geoff]

Jeez mate, that's a rough one, I hope you get sorted double quick, I'm off for a cup of tea & jam doughnut now, well, I was!

[Paul Jenks]

So one assumes, if the op goes ok, you'll be using the saw two handed henceforth

I wouldn't have bothered taking a topper to reduce a 15' Hornbeam.

 

Heal quick.

Not wishing to have a pop at anyone but the above statement gets me a bit, many young people in the trade seem to think its par for the course to pick up the odd chainsaw wound.

 

Its not really the attitude imo, I've neither had nor seen one in 20 ish years mostly through being careful and that's the way it should be.

 

Like I said not having a go at the guy that posted that but these accidents are generally avoidable.
