A lack of planning and adequate supervision, and failure to recognize, evaluate, and control hazards - any or all of these can contribute to faller fatalities and serious injuries. This video shows what can happen in such situations, and how everyone is responsible for faller safety.
Why wasnt a feller buncher used in this situation. Feller bunchers are employed whereever and whenever possible in 2nd growth harvesting on the coast nowadays. This accident didnt have to happen. This forest industry is on a quick plummet to the bottom with workers, especially young ones, and I worked and will probably go back to work in this contracted-out industry, where companies whore themseleves out for a meagre profit. Try roadbuilding, getting paid by the metre, LOL, yikes.
