I clicked on the thread because I recently hired a self-employed tree trimmer to clear my property of fallen & wind damaged trees - from around power lines. After observing how skilled and fearless he performed heart-stopping maneuvers and risky tasks - (as his employee assisted in less difficult work)- he gained my full appreciation for his risky occupation.

He earned his fee and my respect.

If he had suffered such a horrid death - I would be praying for his wife and children - not making fun of his demise. But that’s just me.

...and hiring a good attorney because "all your house are theirs".

No it is not just you. There are lots of people like you that get their panties in a wad when others chortle over darvin award winners. People react to these things differently. Such is life.

Which job is less risky? The tree trimmer or the guy disposing of the branches?

Thanks for your reply. The poor worker who died may not have been as experienced or skilled as your worker, but there is no excuse for making fun of those who have suffered tragedy. It is, quite simply, boorish behavior.
