I have two machines and I guard them like a rabid dog on heat whilst that wheel is spinning.
It's a no go zone till it stops and I couldn't give a rats ass if it took 10 minutes or 10 seconds for it to stop. No-one goes near it till it does.
Also you can plunge the rotating wheel into the ground to stop it.
Forget building a 2000 mile fence across Texas to keep Mexicans out, you got 20,000 miles of beach to fence off in case some-one drowns, gotta be signs that say swimming is wet, depth unknown too hey? Friggin lawyers.
When does one accept responsibility for their own actions?
See, if that were a staff member he'd get a whopping payout on the bosses insurance for being an IDIOT, and you'd get a nice cut hey.
But if he were self employed with his own machine he'd get stuff all and you wouldn't even be here. Get the message?
What happened to Tree Machine had nothing to do with the wheel taking 10 seconds to stop .... it had a lot to do with the fact that another IDIOT operator left the machine running with the cutter wheel engaged and spinning unattended and he got chomped when he walked into it backwards.
Noisy jobsite, earmuffs on, he couldn't hear it, totally different scenario.
I dont care if you dont like me or my post or attitude, what I see is a lawyer looking for blame. Well, look at your client.
Hey guys, here's an opportunity to dish out some reputation points. Lol
