    Tree Cutter Falls 60 Feet To His Death

    lots of trees in the area It's a pain in the ass, but a second climbing system in another near by tree could have saved his life. Can you fellows come up with other options that could have been deployed? A little study on this situation could prevent others from getting killed.
