I don't know Bermy, but seriously doubt she's self employed.

I had one of those moments of intense strength coupled with incredible timing and flexibility.

Therefor I was arming her with rational logic with which to wallop her employer upside the head with like a sap, see?

no, I was to the side of the notch, the leaning piece stood up straight then came at me, then went just to the side of me.If I'm understanding what you went thru, the roped section went over your back. Am I correct?
If so, then I'd want my groundman to slack that line with the quickness! Had this happen a few times as well. Luckily my groundman did just that.
Well, as it happens I am self employed, have been for the last 11 years.
My groundie and I have a pretty good comms routine, visual, hand and voice...but in the bigger trees that I encounter now in my new country, until $600 comes available, the walkie talkies will have to suffice.
As my own employer, I recognized the need for something better than shouting from the top of a tree...soooo unladylike.
This photo was supplied by a member of another forum I frequent.
Since he was not an arborist, "the photo holder," his description of what happened was rather ambiguous. So I'll paraphrase and take liberties— for lack of a better explanation from him.
The injured climber was standing within the crotch of a lower branch, while reaching out to make his cut. As the branch fell, the tips then hit the ground first, springing the butt of the branch back into where he was standing. I'm guessing the branch diameter was 9" or better, with an overall length of 30'
So as the branch came back into the crotch where he was standing, it pinned his calf against the trunk -then sliding down and tearing away at his flesh as it fell away. And from what I understood, he was not tied in. Probably a joe homeowner trying to save some cash.
How is your foot these days Butch, after the crane thing?
