[ "A tree-clearing accident has killed the director of a southwestern Indiana Christian youth camp.
The Daviess County Sheriff's Department says 60-year-old David Ira-Mitchel Bean died Monday at Camp Illiana, about 50 miles northeast of Evansville.
It says Bean and another camp staffer had cut a large, dead tree at its base and were attempting to pull it down when a rope connecting the tree and a front-end loader snapped, causing the tree to sway and a large limb to fall and strike Bean in the head."]Quote
The above description of the accident and from many aspects, it was avoidable and PPE may have made a big difference!
In the West Coast Logging Industry Dead Standing Trees have acquired the nickname and rightly so, of Widow Maker!
In the small logging towns where I spent my working years, the death of a co- worker was felt by every one and I'm very sure is just as hurtful and grievous to those associated with this Church Group.
Country Boy John - thank you for bring this accident to our attention. The wise will take heed!
