I will say a special prayer for him tonight , everyone of us face that same danger every day we leave the house for the woods. And every day I come home safe I thank the man up stairs  ;)

Those falling trees can do you in. And oaks don't give too much. . . . just glad it was a popple log that hit me in the head when I was younger, not an oak.  :-\  Hope he's ok. Wonder if it's anyone I know. Probably not.

Accidents happen so quickly,folk have just got to really extra careful but we don't always think that at the time.

I've cut blowdown that nobody else would go in, my father said i was crazy. I just about got hit hundred's of times. The thing is i fore played what was going to happen in the next 1,2 or 3 seconds when making a cut, so i was ready.
Every time a got hit was when i least expected it.

This guy got lucky this time, i'm sure glad it wasn't worse.

Hope he heals well, No matter how good you are in the woods sooner or later you get your butt kicked by the trees your cutting, I sure hope he heals well and finds himself back on the wood horse. Good luck

Yes, if you fall down in Maine, the odds are heavy that you will fall onto a rock.  :-\

Ouch, that's terrible. You don't have to tell us his name, but can you say what town this happened in?
