What was it 10 accidents a day? So a lot of folks aint doing it right

Lack of training? contempt for commonsense safety precautions?

Or yet further proof of Darwin's theory of the non-survival of the stupidest - nature's way of culling numpties perhaps?

Hopefully, they're not breeding

You can buy a chain saw from Amazon or wherever, take it out of the box without reading the instructions, climb up a tree and start lopping branches (or limbs). Many people do just that, but some get away with it, in the same way that some step into the road and don't get knocked down by a bus. Others are less lucky. Never their own fault of course - someone walks across a railway line texting on their phone, and is tragically hit by an oncoming express train. Railtrack's fault, obviously, (not) for not protecting them from their own stupidity.

I have a set of extending aluminium ladders on which there is a warning sign - 'Danger, do not allow to come into contact with overhead electric cables - danger of death'. Really, I never knew that!
