saftey

I thought of a new topic today while I was at the mountain. I fell on that fateful day in September doing something not out of the ordinary. I have climbed a ladder lots of times before, as most of us have. The hand saw I had, I had used before numerous times again as most of us have. Being realistic, probably the problem came with putting all of these things together...... Well stuff happens to us all. The part that is cool, is the number of people that I have talked to since that say that they have done the same thing. I couple of guys that I have talked to say that they have either cut the limb differently, ie. tied themselves to the tree or used more caution since hearing about myself. I talked to a guy today that said he thinks about it every time a limb he is cutting falls past him while he is up in a boom cutting it. I obviously didn't get hurt to make guys think, but if something good comes out of it for somebody super. I am not unrealistic to think that I am not going to do something unsafe again but now I will give it a second thought and maybe a third.
