Lombardy Fell Incident

[Mull]

Having watched the video it is clear that mistakes were made and these are outlined numerous times throughout the thread. I do however feel for the cutter as I think he/she will be absolutely mortified and having a hard time reconciling his/her actions. I think they will be the first to point out any the deficiencies in the risk assessment next time round.

I am glad that this video was posted as it serves as a reminder of what can go wrong, even when "professionals" are undertaking tree felling.

 

 

Mistakes were made?

Yes, every possible mistake was made!

Quite possibly. But I have no interest in baying for blood on a public forum. I am more interested in the lessons that the industry can be learn from such an incident.

I've climbed for a small company for there aa assessment. It's a joke. The owner is someone who spouts about being professional but will spike a tree he's reducing if he thinks no one will see the spike marks.

Its only best practice if its pruning spikes and round the back of the tree

Tree surgeons to the royal family , so fells like that get a seal of royal approval . I believe all the trucks carry the royal warrant.

No interest in baying for blood from me either, as I've pointed out already, if you are already in the industry and you have to look at this vid to learn something[emoji79], what the hell are you doing at the moment if this video teaches you something?

To learn something from this video, you'd have to be as thick as two short planks before you watched it surely?

The award for the most condescending post of the year goes to........

 

 

Learn from others mistakes, that way you won't need to make so many of your own.

 

People do stupid things, I know as I'm one of them. So, being reminded of this is never a bad thing.

I did not mean for me to learn from it personally, but rather the industry (e.g. AA approved contractor scheme and other such approval schemes). Sorry to be so unclear in my previous posts. But you are right I probably am as thick as two short planks.

Yes I'm a Royalist too but I don't think even the Queen can help the 'video stars' of this thread!

Lol!
