Agreed. I personally believe the workers were negligent in establishing and securing a safe work area. I wouldn't blame the guy at all if he decided to sue. It was the crew's legal responsibility to ensure everyone's safety, not his. Bad personal judgement on his part? Sure, but people in...
You do realize it was one of the cribbing or bedding logs that was sent toward the building. Brush is always better, it cushions and wouldn't have went sailing like the log did.
Cramped quarters is what we do. Right? Id of pulled it just like that, no problem. However, Id of surely secured the work area much better than that, and would probably have cribbed with a clam bite of brush. Whats the benefit of cribbing a log with other logs on a hard surface?
Foreseen, maybe not, but in this business you need to expect and plan for the un-expected.
I would not have allowed all those bystanders to be that close.
