Man, what a bummer. Sad news to start the weekend with. Nothing but best wishes to the family and loved ones.

My thoughts are out to his family...TMW whats the fatality count at so far this year? It seems to be a bad start to the year for our industry.

 

[chris_girard]

That really sucks. I hope his family will be ok.

We need more info on this fatality, so we can learn from it. Tim do you have any more on what happened?

Davey had another death recently in a pickup truck accident, a few weeks ago. One person was thrown out of the truck, I believe.

Dang. That sucks. I wonder if someone made a mistake with their notch or the man who was struck, was in the "kill zone."

Why don't the reporters get a full understanding of these accidents and communicate that to the public? I wish they would communicate these better.

My employee came from Wright Tree Service here in Boulder. His foreman didn't know how to notch trees. The guy snap cut a large tree expecting it to fall the way he wanted it to. My employee said it became a "run for your life" situation!

The thing that bothers me is this guys claims to be in the industry for 10 years.

I've counted 6 so far myself, but Tim would be the one with the up to date number.

My prayers to his family.

I am trying to get the numbers for February and will post them when I do.

I heard he was working storm work and was in the process of cutting the tree off the telephone line when it shot back and hit him. Not able to verify this.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends.

Doesn't this make 3 fatals for Davey in 08?
