Have you seen this vid. I'd cycled straight on & bought a lottery ticket;

Is Adrenalin brown?

That'll be one contractor who won't be working for that local authority again.
No that they could anyway, the fine from HSE should break them.

In terms of a near miss report, you couldn't get any nearer than that and still miss.

I suspect that video will go slightly Viral around the World.

Nah, he'll be alright. He tied it off with some string, had a sign, was wearing some PPE. Was there anything else he could of done?

I just wonder why Bear Valley Company UK, happened to be watching?

Saw this last weekend. My bro showed me it, he's a tree surgeon himself.
Absolutely appalling work, they should be reamed out over this incident.

Yeah, what was that bit of string for?
Horrendously dangerous business but with a job like that you’d need to close the road and have a tight cordon set up as there’ll always be a numpty that will want to ignore it.
