Falling pics, falling vids, and consequences.

[mitch95100]

Although I'm not given much to thinking a thought did actually form inside my brain although it is filled with sawdust and dulled by many past years of overindulge in alcohol. I was going through the videos I have posted on You Tube, and in everyone of them I could be ticketed for an OSHA violation. To anyone's knowledge has this ever happened? My biggest fear is it falling back on my employer. It is the best job I have ever had, and I would sure hate to lose it due to OSHA mailing him some tickets due to some silly Vids. Thinking of pulling my vids offline unless my fears are unwarranted.

What you u tube name?
gotta check some out lol

Let's be nice guys.

This is just my take, and trust me, I'm not trying to be a moderator or running for president. The posers are what they are and those who are posing might be doing so for some reason unbeknownst to us, but it might be what gets em through there day. It may be that they had a hard road there whole life and posing on here makes there existence a little more tolerable. I'm not suggesting the toleration of disrespectful posers, but I have not seen anything in this particular thread that a guy couldn't have let slide, and I'm definitely not calling the redneck dude a poser either. I know nothing about him, and think that these are the first posts I have ever seen from him, but then again, my recollection is more than a couple inch's off of trim. I'm not trying to tell people how to act for sure, I'm just saying that it wouldn't hurt to squint a little.....at least till the chips start getting in your eyes..........

Pat, your worries are not unfounded. I had some vids up awhile back of me cutting some trees to clear a firebreak, and some side-by-side tests with modded vs. stock saws, and stuff like that. One morning I come into work and the boss wants to see me RIGHT NOW. That's bad, because the boss is a hands-off kind of guy, so RIGHT NOW never means good things.

Turns out a coworker had showed him the vids (no idea why this person did this), and the boss had asked his boss if it was OK, and so on and so on. It came back down the chain-of-command that they didn't know whether it was OK or not so I'd better just take 'em down anyway. I did, and that's that.

I have since put a few new vids up, but have posted them as unlisted, which means you have to actually have the link to see them, and so far so good. I guess the lesson here is that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks, but rather what they think somebody else might think, that could get you in trouble. Consider switching the security settings on your vids to unlisted and you should be OK.

Sorry Pard, I chickened out and made them all private. I'm going to ask my boss about it, and if he is ok with it I will repost them. You can find me on youtube and friend me and you will be able to veiw them that way. My username on youtube is Tatarkidd. Here is a link to a video of mine that was took on my Uncle's brothers, bowling pardners, gym teachers mistress, who had an affair with my other uncle, which lead to my first uncle's death, which is how we meet the mortician that own's this spread that I'm cutting this tree on.

Since all your videos are on your friends back 40 and you are volunteering to get some wood on the ground for him, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Without proprietary info, company names, locations, or anything else that pegs a target, I'd say it'd be tough to match up a story for anything like that to happen.

Your a clever cat Hammer. I like the way you think! I did sis out and make them private though. However remote the chance, It's not worth risking a great job. I'm going to check with the boss and see if it ok with him.

Pat... I know you're a modest cat...but that is hands down... prolly the best fallin' video I have ever watched.

Thank's Gary. Do they make Double XL hard hat liners by the way?

Greenwedge,

Is that you or your dog that barks when the tree starts falling?

Good post. You made some good points. There's more to this whole thing than just what you read in this thread but you can make up your own mind about that.

I think I'll take a little vacation. Enough is enough.

Greenwedge,

Yeah......You still cant see that video can ya? ....the one where 5 or 6 go over at once?

 

[slowp]

I dunno. Maybe I can make one. See the Hat thread. :excruciating:

 

[Greenwedge]

LOL just read it right this time....I dont bark anymore, I have been known to howl from time to time...but never bark.

I saw it this morning. I thought I heard barking on another video of yours too.

The government tends to ignore things of this nature unless something "happens" or there is a lot of publicity about something (then they must "do something").

More likely would be a private lawyer might dig this stuff up to support a case in a lawsuit...

...but private lawyers only take cases where millions of dollars can be had....

...and most logging businesses I know don't have "deep pockets", so not to worry.

The safest thing is to not use your real name and don't give the exact location. But that is a good thing to do for anything on the internet...
