Another climber fall; yesterday in Wilmington, DE

Over an hour, ouch, hope for a speedy recovery. I always wonder how difficult it would be to rescue a treeworker in my area. Many of my customers are firefighters, and I would often ask them, their responses are not very comforting, most have no idea unless the rescue ladder truck can reach it.

I've seen pictures of the scene for this story on TV, but can't seen to find it online, this unfortunate fellow was using a very long ladder, seems to be a DIYer.
 
Ouch, a sliced arm AND bees. At least he didnt take the full fall, though it would have made for an easier rescue. Definitely could have been worse..
