I don't have a link.
Paul is around here some.
I gather it was a team-move on some logs, and one of the juniors on the team had head-in-ass, and Paul's finger got between heavy wood and something solid. 3 days later, he was back climbing, head of the company and head of the household.
I always tell employees that they are no good injured to anyone. Coming to work sick is a good way to go home injuried. Getting me sick or injured puts all employees out of work.
Ryan said something about not climbing for a bit, taking a break. Healing, probably mentally as well as physically. Ryan's finger tip got mangled, but put back together, to a degree, I gather. I don't know any details on the surrounding events.
If someone "wanted to help by..." or "just was going to..." or "wasn't trying to...", I would not be shocked in the least.
Last time I nicked a rope, I'd told the customer "No. Thank You", 6 times. 6. But he kept wanting to help, rather than listen. You know the regular customer (well, well-heeled family, son is a forester), who will do all the clean-up, at one of many home or rental properties... and this one was a retainer-line/ pull-line/ notch-n-drop (well, head-high cut off a springboard for a 10' habitat snag, making it barely short of stacks of milled lumber, dead with sapwood rot, therefore the retainer, as a greenhouse and swingset are under the lean), in their backyard, on a Saturday morning. They are so excited for a show. Of course it went where it was supposed to go...boring!
I try to be very polite, until they start to debate whether they are indeed in my way or not, or distracting, or not, or in danger themselves or not. At that point I have to say, the customer low on my list of my concerns, and that they are endangering US by "trying to help" or "just..."
You'd think "No. Thank you." would be enough. People don't listen well, figuratively and literally, the dad is nearly deaf, so you have to speak loudly, right next to him, facing him, so he always wants to get close to talk.
