I've wrote it up here previously, and in proper form and prose as well. At some point we'll be able to dig it up...lol.
Readers digest version:
Kaveman failed to properly maintain and inspect his gear, and as a consequence, I fell 76 feet onto my left shoulder.
Also @Burnham has a mind like a steel trap. If the memory is the first thing to go, apparently he's going to live forever.
B, that was my second try, mebbe someone else can post a FGTW link for Max.
Geez, Kave-76' and you still wit us?? You tough- made outta spring steel and whalebone.... tougher than a boiled owl, tougher than wang leather.

Tough implies that I could or would do it again. Truth is I was damn lucky. I pay the idiot tax on that day, everyday, and will continue to.

Lucky indeed. I wouldn’t buy a lottery ticket cause I think you used it up on that fall.
It implies to me that increased toughness = greater survivability

Here is your story in full, Kaveman. It's is a well written piece, so I hope it's alright with you to bring it forward so those with less elephantine memories than myself
may read it.

Written almost a year ago, to the day! 😆Here is your story in full, Kaveman. It's is a well written piece, so I hope it's alright with you to bring it forward so those with less elephantine memories than myself
Like I wrote then, there's ALOT left out there. Maybe someday I'll get into more of the aftermath and such, but I don't particularly feel like getting into it right now.
I will say that I my ears have itched ever since then, like inside, really bad. It's weird. Pretty sure something got rattled...
It's bizarre I can't recall reading it previously but yeah that is crazy, a slip and pivot resulting in Both ropes being cut in an instant. Thx for reposting, B.
That pivot thing happened to the ninja awhile back- he was topping something fairly big and as the top started to go over, his forward spur gaffed out causing his body to pivot directly under the path of the falling top. The butt hit him across the top of the shoulders but in true ninja fashion he said 'nigga get the f*ck offa me' and he kinda shrugged it off and it kept going and he stayed put, uninjured.

*the stump
It Actually hinged and pulled a lot for a Euc. Only missed the gun by a hair despite heavy side weight. (The gun didn’t really matter)
I think it’s stringybark? Interesting that the last eucs I was messing with would only flex a little in the sapwood, and this one flexed in the heartwood.
@Trains @Bermy what do y’all think? - and how are you?

Looking at the second pic again now, it slightly missed the gun but nailed the lay.

Right before Kavey showed up, I finally felt good enough to remove the last bit of leader I fell off of. I had fallen from higher up. Then cut the pick from the roof before I went to the hospital. This chunk was about 800#. I remote rigged it and while Rob tending the lines to lift and keep fromswinging, I cut from an orchard ladder while roped from higher up in the tree. So if anything went wrong, I could swing away.

Jumping the gun on getting back at it, Stephen? You probably only have one chance at healing up right...be strong, be patient.
