Innit!

You all would have been proud of me today...6' up little silver buttonwoods, harness and helmet, I felt the vibes from overseas whispering...'Fi, do the right thing...' :)

Unprotected head + hard surface = bad outcome I think my OP has been answered sufficiently. I had just wondered about the bucket height scenario...

That would have scared me silly! No reoccurance?

THAT must have been very, very scary! No long term effects? Just lights out, lights on?

Ok, good feedback. It sometimes feels a bit strange to be PPE'd up the yin yang when for years, and still today most landscapers and people who cut trees (notice I didn't say arborists) or work in high lifts wear very little if anything. The guy who ran the big lift I used a couple weeks ago...

...and your harness, and your rope and your gloves....haha

Well, some times it feels nice not to wear a helmet... How I work is SO different from the normal landscapers, guess I'm asking is there ever a middle ground between the full on PPE, and the wear nothing and trust in blind luck when height is not very high working out of a bucket with hand...

Yeah, I like that.

The kind of hedge I was doing would normally be done by a guy on a 10' A frame ladder with a machete, no cones, no high viz, hanging on with one hand smoking a cigarette...

For wearing a harness and/or helmet in a bucket? I was pruning a hedge today...max 12'...sometimes down to 8'...I was PPE'd properly...would you ever consider not wearing either at 'low elevation'?
