Dormant hero!!
I figured some here would want to know the netree (Erik) had a cable on his bucket fail. He is in the hospital but is able to post on face book. Maybe some thoughts his direction would be appreciated while he recovers.

Unfortunate news. What happens when a cable on your bucket fails?

Like the bucket would drop suddenly? That could indeed rattle you in the least.

That's an ancient old POS bucket truck he has. Got it from somebody who owed him money with a long, convoluted chain of events resulting in him having possession of the truck. Not sure if he ever got the title but he had a fake tag on it for years. A death trap.

I hope his family is doing ok. I would hate for my family to have to go through seeing me all buggered up and worried about how to make ends meet.

Dang. Sorry to hear anything of that sort happen to any tree tramp. May he recover from this with just a little wisdom.

I hate hearing about any tree guy/gal getting hurt. Especially someone I "know" from the forums. Best wishes to Erik and his family.

From what I have heard its a broke wrist and internal injuries.

For some reason the figure 1500 bucks is my guess for a full inspection.

I hear the 'karma' statement,
...but I agree with the sentiment that it is a shame when anyone gets injured.
While working in the Trauma ICU back in 1995 I learned that injury is nothing to take lightly, even if it happens to an old enemy.
Dave was a patient who had done me wrong years earlier, and it was he who was all chewed up, physically, and I must say emotionally.
Pain meds didn't seem to begin to touch his pain. I knew he was nervous that I was his nurse.
I told him he had enough to work on with healing his body and forgave him for his past misdeeds.
You could see him relax and he was able to find a bit more peace.
I got over the loss long ago; and I thought at the time he'll likely be thinking of my 'forgiveness' every day as he struggles with his new limitations.
So, I guess that is a case of karma, too... hmmm.
