What has always made TreeBuzz such a great community is all of you. The willingness to freely share experiences, ideas, successes and failures is what keeps this place valuable for arborists at every stage of their careers.
That spirit of open discussion and shared learning is exactly what...
That's a terrible story to have to tell. I can't really imagine the amount of things that had to align for the incident to happen with that outcome. Sad stuff.
That's tough to deal with for sure. I've finished 2 trees (that I know of) where someone lost their life trying to remove it. Always hits me in a certain way. I never feel I'm at risk, but I do think about the individual before, during and after the removal.
I'm currently waiting to begin removing a tree where a homeowner was killed pruning it and it got me thinking about all of the trees I've finished in the past where others had issues. It's a heavy feeling today that I don't take lightly. I've done this before and it was a little eerie as well...

I apologize guys, but I just ran out of time before I had to get to the airport this morning. Nothing is sold or will be until I get back next week and post again here. Sorry for the wait
Hi guys. I will answer all of the questions when I get back home and can get those details. I appreciate the interest! I'll try to get this done before I fly out of town tonight.
