Until you learn respect and get educated, I have all day...
During 1992--2007,* a total of 1,285 workers died while performing tree care and maintenance; 44% were trimming or pruning a tree when fatally injured.
Stats only for professional nearly 100 per year, home use non-professional not included.
Like I said, someone gets killed every day. :taped:
Facts are difficult... here's more...
The most common causes of death were being struck by or against an object (42% of deaths), most commonly a tree or branch; falls to a lower level (34%); and electrocutions (14%). Most of the decedents (57%) worked for small establishments with 10 or fewer employees. Employers, trade and worker associations, and policymakers should take additional steps to improve the safety of workers involved in tree care, such as providing formal training to workers and ensuring that personal protective equipment (e.g., fall protection equipment) is used properly.
Lets give a professional saw to my neighbor and watch the fun begin :smile2:
Most homeowners scare me when they run a weedeater, lets give them a Pro-Saw too FTW
