EXpensive Day AT Work

BIx,
when I do my tosh.o on tree videos, I;ll be sure to add that to the mix..
fortunately you are humble enough to take criticism without too much hurt to your ego
I would have cut that from the ground if possible.. or set it up to break then trip it with a machine or the crane
actually seem like the lanyard would have save the saw, as it was only pinched for a brief moment as the wood started to move..
couple months agao, I pinched a 200t from the bucket on big storm damaged lead... I ended up setting a lowering line in the adjacent tree to tie the saw to.
when the piece dropped the saw swung harmlessly away...
then there was the time last fall that I trashed one when I had the pinched saw tied to the bucket with a short rope.. the big piece of storm damaged oak was fused, set to release when the groundie let it down some... saw pinched and bucket out of the dz.... broke the TIP out which caught the saw on its backswing into the dz... missed my head by a foot or two.. would have been fatal... that was one of those situations where you;re glad it was only the saw... happy to see it in bits ;)
 
Yeah, $300 buck repair or even a $1K replacement is far, far, cheaper than what the personal injury would cost you. I'm now receiving bills from the hospitals for amounts not paid or covered by the insurer. While I don't have to pay it the numbers are pretty big for even the most minor stuff.
 
i can relate to the voice in my head.ignored my own thinking yesterday and had a small mishap myself.
i know im more susceptible to an accident when my thinking is geared more towards getting something done fast as opposed to getting things done smooth, which usually leads to pretty fast anyway.
