Wolf Blitzer has started a new company with the former owner of Down to Earth as a consultant. An brief itemized list of the accidents that occured after Down to Earth sold his share of "Down to Earth"
Keep in mind these all occured in one week, and are not exageratted.
2 cut climbing ropes (by the person described in the "lazy disgrace of a climber" post.
1 cut peice of webbing
1 smashed Stihl 019 climbing saw (this saw belonged to the discrace, but was crushed by the little italian dude, who was dropping limbs from a ladder.
pruning the wrong trees on a job because a lack of any tree ID/dendrology skills.
1 broken chipper, resulting from feeding a log into it while on the lowest throttle setting, 800 rpm's, should be 2400.
1 broken throttle bar on said chipper
1 broken Stihl 260, a result of aggressive tightening, and putting the chain on backwards.
The "disgrace" hitting himself in the hand twice with a hand saw, and once in the leg with the chain saw. Luckily, his leg was not cut, due to what he describes as the strength of his double-layered Arbor-Wear pants.
1 pole saw, intentionally thrown out of a tree blade first, in a fit of frustration.
Keep in mind that all of these accidents are not from active board members, and thank god these guys have not really hurt themselves physically.
