"Lumberjack" story on NBC's "Today" show

Anybody else see it? Were those Husky saws?

A friend of mine saw it and he was not happy that they did not include Arborists. There is extreme danger in both fields, Logging and Arboriculture.

I saw it. The subject was the most dangerous profession in the US. Maybe if a few arborists would cut the limb they're sitting on, they could get that honor.

Tawilson, lets don't make this a who's job is more dangerous thread. They are both dangerous.

Yes, yes they were all running Husqvarna saws. Looked like a 575xp to me. The gumment gave the distiction as the most dangerous job in the lower 48, not NBC(Today show)

Sorry, just making a joke. If you ask me, after watching those Deadliest Catch shows, the most dangerous job ain't on land. I think they were going by the most fatalities per year(84 loggers last year). If they did it by per capita, then it might be different, and more accurate. Oh, by the way, you're the one who brought it up.
