A logger who cuts for my mill was hit by a widow maker a week ago. It split his hard hat. His partner found him face down unresponsive. They flew him out and he has been on life support for a week. He may not make it. I just found out this morning from the trucker. My machine has been down a while and I've been out of the loop. Even though on several occasions we have been cutting 10-15min away I never did meet him. I did talk to him on the phone a few times and I bought some wedges for him last winter that I sent along with his forester. Hes younger than me and seems like a decent guy. It was a pretty big shock to me. I hope the guy will pull through. Crazy stuff. Well be careful out there. His dad is a logger and I'll bet his dad was too.
