January 18, 201610 yr With things going South daily in the world today, how come the gene not is not getting cleaned faster? (not to pick on anyone from the South.)
January 18, 201610 yr #3, a guy died two weeks ago locally, the first day on the job trying to clear a tree service chipper jam with his leg. Potential Darwin award material abounds, for sure.
January 19, 201610 yr I like the guy cuttin the tree on the ladder in the tree. I watched a guy cut a limb off a tree while standing on a 6' step ladder and it didn't end well. The limb came back and knocked him off the ladder throwing the chainsaw several feet away from him and left a bruise from just below his shoulder blade to halfway down his thigh and most of the way across his back.
January 19, 201610 yr They are horrific, a complete lack of PPI running through the post like a theme......what are these people thinking!

January 19, 201610 yr I like the trampoline on the 6th floor roof but it's hard to beat the guy starting the chainsaw with the bar in his crotch. I think that may be a rare non-fatal Darwin Award Winner! Frosty The Lucky.

January 19, 201610 yr Author No eye protection either. That guy is just asking for a painful woodchip to the eye. It is hard to beat that one. I didn't know whether to cringe, cry, or laugh .............. so I went with laugh.
January 19, 201610 yr One summer in High School I worked on the road crew after a hurricane hit; those big gas powered chippers are *SCARY* and anything that will chip a 6-8" diameter hardwood log won't even slow down for a human (and the thorns on locust trees want to bring you along for the "ride") Note that there are two catagories shown there: Folks trying to get a job done and folks just being silly/stupid. Of the two, the latter should be first in line for gene pool cleanup!
January 19, 201610 yr I have frequently been annoyed by people not thinking the problem and solutions through. These are classic examples
January 19, 201610 yr These make me immensely grateful for some early training when I worked in the Steel Industry, when I was taught to THINK FIRST, THEN THINK SOME MORE, ONLY THEN ACT. Sure, I've violated that more times than I can count, but it's also saved my bacon more than once.
January 19, 201610 yr Good advice, Susan. Perhaps those words should go above the forge in big letters!

January 23, 201610 yr Ok , at first I couldn't spot the problem? I finally figured it out! No one had on any safety boots? great pictures!
January 24, 201610 yr And remember never to wear loose clothing whilst operating rotational machinery!
January 24, 201610 yr And that's the bare truth. I'd say, 'and no butts about it,' but . . . but. I wonder how long he'd last cutting a guardrail? Frosty The Lucky.
