not sure it would have been better to be tied in as the tree hit the bucket, injury could have been worse if he wan't thrown free .I see a number of guys not tying in. Some are greenhorns, some are vets. I don't get it.
Thankfully he is alive.The 35 to 40 foot tree, however, fell into the bucket, crushing it and nearly tearing it off the platform, Howard said. As a result, the worker was catapulted from the bucket and fell nearly 40 feet to the ground.

Does it stand to reason that if one can't think to tie in then one can't think to cut the tree properly?

I dont know how well you guys read the article but is says the tree went the wrong way and it crushed his bucket. Not sure what would have happened if he was tied in, he may have been crushed too. Maybe he was tied in and the tie in was damaged from the hit. But with that said too many guys are hurt from not tying in to buckets

That sounds rather plausible. almost like you have had a close call yourself :biggrinbounce2:
I think that goes for everybody here.
Frankly the story is a little smelly. I suspect the truth has been "moulded" to suit the embarrased tree company. It is more likely that they were too cheap to hire a larger bucket, took the top out of the tree with only 1 tagline and it twisted off the trunk and pinged the bucket. When those small units bounce the op can be launched like a rock out of a medieval catapult.
