Heard from a friend in emergency services of a male that fell 40' out of a tree and succumbed to his injuries. Don't have any details yet, but Ministry of Labour was called.

Friend on Huntsville FD who attended the call says the climber fell approximately 40 feet.
Not sure what his experience level was, but he was wearing a ball cap not a hardhat (not like that little detail would have made any difference in outcome).
A groundman who was with him heard him yell, and saw him hit the ground; pronounced dead on scene.

Yep, heard today, he only was tied in with 1 lanyard, cut it with his saw, fell approximately 40'.....hit the ground, wasn't wearing a helmet. No ambulance transfer either. Remember to tie in twice fellas! Watch where your saw is at all times!
