Looking for article/picture on homeowner falling off ladder

[Nickrosis]

With a chainsaw in hand. He was in the Milwaukee area, but the newspaper has cleansed it's online archive. Any leads?

I think it was up in 'port when they had that big storm 5-6 years ago (Dave Nichols and I were just talking about that...)

I'm sure it's in the JS archives, they published it first.

Are you talking about the same pic that was in the Sherrill catalog a while back?

Are you talking about the same pic that was in the Sherrill catalog a while back?

I remember seeing that picture.The guy in the picture and the person taking the picture and even the person that developed the picture probably had a good laugh.(Assuming the he wasn't hurt)

here's a pic of someone, up a ladder with no protection.

046- nice picture-I know that freeclimbing with spurs, one handing a saw is bad but this guy takes the cake.

Darn, looks like a nice oak tree, to bad it has that guy in it about to drop a limb on that ornamental(dogwood maybe?).

I am thinking of that very clear pic with the homeowner in shorts falling off the ladder that had a lot of discussion as to whether it was staged or maybe a computer altered pic. No I don't have it. Sorry. But it was a hoot.

So is that for real, whore whut?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

True...not staged...and the ladder-guy didn't get hurt...don't know if the saw landed safely

 

[MasterBlaster]

Great shot, then!

 

[ozy365]

Ummm...How high up was that dude? For real no injury? Did his home owners deductible double?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

The photographer had a motor drive so there is a series of at least four pictures that show the whole operation. If I remember right the photographer got a publishing award.

 

[Blowdown1]

Can anyone ID the saw?
