Ladders ( I think.) are the second most dangerous tool in our garages, and chainsaws are Number One. This poor fellow climbed a ladder to do a task that should be done by a tree climber, or someone with a bucket truck. He also made a cut with the saw held in one hand, and that is just asking for a kickback to put the saw back in your face. I hope he takes a remedial class after he is healed up.
Why isn't the fool dropping the tree first? Unless the limb was damaged or diseased, I see no reason to be up there.

ReplyDeleteI read an old newspaper account about a traction engine boiler explosion. A young man was on the engine platform when it blew. His last words were "I was above the trees."
