My God!!! The trees are learning to fight back!

Did it make a sound?

MatrixOutsider: Byrnes says the worker was wearing a hard hat and safety gear.

That's all he was wearing? No wonder he died.

Well, he was at a nudist club.

Subby, how could you pass up the nudist club part?

In defense of the Tree...The guy should've been wearing more than a hard hat. I mean who works at a nudist club and downs trees without wearing clothes and proper 40 pound limb protection.

Jeez.....

Strongbeerrules: Did it make a sound?

Yes.

It went "CRUNCH."

FTA: Workers from Tamke Tree Experts were....

not so much...

LazarusLong42: Strongbeerrules: Did it make a sound?

Yes.

It went "CRUNCH."

I imagine it was more of a "SPLAT".

You mean I almost died this morning!?!

According to my wife it is also something that can be ignored subby


/sniff

that's what she said.

"Morning wood can be fatal"

It can be, if you're using it on someone else when your wife wakes up.

Keep your eyes on your work!

That'll teach ya.

When you wake up in the morning, what's the first thing that you see?

/It's your mooooooorning wood
//Mooooooorning wood

Anyone who thinks (thanks to the mental giants at OSHA) a hardhat trumps death should've been at the Georgetown Univ dorm project in the 80's. Ever seen what a small toolbox does to a hardhat covered head when it falls 4 floors? Eeesh...

tjsands1118: Subby, how could you pass up the nudist club part?

Morning wood wasn't good enough?

/sometimes it farkin' aches

Fatal to Subby's mom!!

achy breaky wood?

ferretman: I did not know there was a nudist club so close to me...

Wouldn't want to see the chicken fat roaming those parts.

Hmmmm.... He must have been distracted. Now what could have distracted him. Hmmm.......

Oh he knows about the evil trees but do silly humans listen? Noooooooo.

30+ years ago, I was working on a radio tower at 1000 feet up. A hammer slipper out of my hand. The ground workers were FAR AWAY from the tower base and in no immediate danger. Still gave a signal to be aware of falling objects. No one hurt.

It took a shovel and some digging to recover the hammer.

2nd story:

A 2500 foot tv tower was going up in Houston TX. The tower itself was complete and the riggers were hoisting the antenna to the very top. The antenna snagged on one of the guy wires on the way up and broke the wire.

The strain of the unbalanced guy wires caused the antenna to zig-zag fold up and fall. Five guys were on the tower. The tv station had a film crew there getting shots of the antenna hoisting for promotion/advertizing/etc.

You could plainly see the bodies falling. The guy at the middle of the tower took about 5 seconds to hit, the ones at the top closer to 10 seconds.

Soon after I left radio construction....

Who's got time to pay attention to falling limbs when you're at a nudist club...

Holy crap. Here it is: Link

Question: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to see it does it make a sound?
Question: If no one is there how do you know it fell?

Late to the party, but I'll just leave this here:P

He was probably genuinely happy to be at work that day too. Very sad indeed.
