I owuld like to know escape path, felling direction, how far the tree fell before top broke free, were there obstacles, was the tree felled with weight of top so it folded like an accordian, or against weight so it pushed th etop further into the snag? Theres something missing to me..........

i haven't talked w/the surgeon yet...appt. on weds bones reset but this part is 'routine' nerve repair likely tedon/l'ment repair likely

No my man , I ;m just bitter about the BS. TMW has got you and this whole buzzworld brainwashed . TMW is responsible for this thread and my replies but he won't speak up because he is waiting for the next homeowner to screw up . Shame on you people , and I am sorry pancake but your case is what is wrong with this awakenings section . The tree hit the professional tree climber because he made a bad move . Bottom line , other than that we...

Quote: Quote: It sounds pretty straight forward what happened. What else could there be to explain? I can picture the accident clear as day in my head. Trees are tricky and can take out the best of us. Riggs, you sound dangerous, I am thankful I dont have to work anywhere near you and I feel bad for the people that do. Hopefully your arogance is just of the internet variety and you dont really think you invincible in real life. This is an...

he tried to cut down a tree with a comprimised top. the top broke and came down on him while he was underneath it. What part of the story doesnt add up? I have had deadwood from trees i was dropping rain down on me while I was just makeing the face cut! It is real easy to end up in the awakenings section doing the kind of work we do especially since we happen to all be humans.

Riggs, bitter since 1927? Or does it go back a few more generations? This is turning into the best thread since Don Lee Nam invented new shoes. These accident stories could be the most important use of these forums. Keeps us on our A game. I'd think some people would be afraid to post their accidents after the ridicule dished out by some in this thread.

I think what Riggs wants is for Pancake to say the bore cut lead to the injury or that he did something else to compromise his safety so that we all can learn from it and not let it happen to ourselves or our crew. Was the bored hinge to thin and the tree not hold the stump? No one but Keith knows the answer when he is ready he'll tell all or he won't; it is america and we all have the freedom to speak or not to speak. So Riggs...

Well, I'm waiting for Pancake's article and for TMW to join in, since I understand that he's now finished with his exams. He'll probably have the decency though to start a new thread. I say twelve rounds, in the Quercus of their choosing, full PPE, bore cuts with a Dutchman, last one on the ground in a homeowner's backyard wins!

Sorry to hear about this Tom. I don't wish ANY of my fellow tree brothers to get hurt. Heal up quick, the worlds a better place with you in it climbing and working
