Oops, I'm not paying attention

No helmet because I really never THOUGHT about wearing one, I mean, I never wore a helmet at any other thing I have done. Not that any of you would care, but the man in that picture, the man that has taught me everything I know, I'm sure has cut himself 2 times, I'm thinking 3. And has fell out of a tree once. I'll get a picture of the scars if I can.
Anyways, we were at a job taking down a Cypress tree and everything was on the ground. The tree had been removed and we were cutting it up. Daniel was over cutting the stump down and he was using our Husky with a 36" bar, next thing I know, the saw stops and he walks over to me, calm as can be, and says, "I think I'm going to have to go." I said to him " Why, where are you going to go?". He then replies with "Well, you tell me..." and opens up the hole in his pants. there was about a 5 inch cut, about 1" wide on his leg. I rushed him to the E.R. and the whole way, hes poking it, sticking his finger down in it and messing with it.
When we get to the E.R. they give him morphine. He then started to help the doctor stitch it up!!!!
I couldn't have EVER done that. When it was all over, he cut 1/2 way through his shin bone, and cracked it the other way through.
He still has the piece of bone to this day, from his leg.
Now, ever since then, I pay WAY more attention to what I'm doing with a saw. So I know you all are right about PPE.
Hmmm, its getting late and I got a job tomarrow.
When I get home I'll tell you all how I cut a mans finger all the way off with a climbing rope about 2 months ago...

Ummm, I don't think you tried any reason Brandon, just started to lay into him.
Maybe I should call you Rocky Jr.?
I guess FLA16 did not read a lot of the posts here, or he would have been more prepaired for the flames.
I do have to agree with some of the intent , if not the method of the critisism.
By removing too much, of this dynamic mass the tree needs to go into stored reserves to flush out new leaves. When you do a prune at 11 & 1 the tree is allways trying to catch up, grows slow, and is more suseptable to insects and diseases.
We would gladly try to help you learn more about tree care and physiology if you would like.
Next I will explain why hooking a trim is bad. If you would like me too....
