Fall from platform
A man was badly injured last Sunday after falling from a truck mounted platform/bucket truck while trimming trees near Champaign, Ohio, due south of Chicago.
He was working with a chainsaw at a height of around six metres, when he was either bounced out of the basket by a falling tree limb or had exited the basket. He fell with his saw still running but thankfully it did not add to the injuries sustained from the fall.
He was airlifted to hospital and on Tuesday his condition was declared to be ‘stable’.
