Most tree gangs I see around here are two maybe three man gangs. Whose going to carry the other end of the stretcher if there is two blokes on site and one of them is seriously injured?

 

Even with three blokes the two not injured blokes wouldn't carry 240lb very far at all.

 

I asked him that a while back, he didn't have an answer then and he wont have now,,,,will he? go on jackamo answer the man:laugh1:

Out of interest who paid to reinstate the gardens of the houses you drove through to get Blue Eyed Bob to safety (presumably with Springsteen at full blast)?

Don't you think that you might kill or paralyze him in the process? Which could be highly likely.

 

As for leg splints, the last thing I want is someone pissing about with my broken leg who hasn't got a clue, or a bag of morphine on tap.

You'll understand if I plead the Sargent Shultz routine on how any landscape damage occurred that day?

 

I generated some economic stimulus activity for doctors nurses n landscapers?

Who said anything about a broken leg injury?

 

Pneumatic arm n leg splints make great quick to apply sterile pressure bandages to limit profuse bleeding from accidental chainsaw/handsaw cuts.

 

How bout tourniquets?

 

Are they superfluous too in a tree men's medkit?

No I won't understand. Speak English.

 

Who was responsible for the tab?

 

Could there have been kids playing in their gardens as you careered through?
