The clip shows a falling tree hitting a bin with wheels; not a wheely bin

Just because a bin isn't plastic or has four wheels or holds 1100L+, doesn't mean it's not a wheelie bin.

Unless you know how bad the injury was it doesnt mean anything. People go to A&E because they have a cough so trapping their finger in a wheelie is probably a fairly big ordeal to some.

 

I like the video:laugh1: she didnt miss a beat.

Yes but part of the reason for the low risk is the effective risk management system we have in place. If you stopped felling dangerous trees then the risk would obviously increase. I know what you mean though, the risk is often over stated.

 

Oh yeah, and everyone is a tree expert!!!

 

I agree the risk from trees is over stated. The HSE deems the risk low, in there broadly acceptable region.
