A warning to arboristsThe attached video clip is quite distressing – not visually - we thought long and hard before deciding to post it, however it shows how an experienced tree climber can make a mistake which can be catastrophic. The man is being filmed while preparing a quotation for a home owner when he falls. We understand that he broke his back and his foot. Safety authorities are attempting to limit climbing occasions when no alternative is available – not the case here. |

Harness saves the dayWe are told that this accident occurred in Columbia in August 2011. Two men using a scaffold tower to reach a steel beam which they then proceed to cut away from the building. The tower is too short and not really the right tool for the job. However thankfully both men are wearing harnesses with lanyards of a suitable length. So both survived intact. |
