So this almost happened to me… twice. Once in Thailand and another in China. Seriously watch out folks, life can be taken at any time.

Nearly happened to me yesterday, walking toward a village called Perton near Wolverhampton and a huge branch from a tree falls down right in front of me. If I’d have been literally 5 seconds ahead I’d be gone.
My condolences to the family, horrible to lose someone without warning like this, no chance even to say goodbye.

Some of the trees on suburban streets are dangerous, but don’t look it. There was a tree that recently fell outside my parents’ house, and it was a pretty big tree so it was fortunate nobody was walking nearby because that would have definitely killed someone. Someone had a look at the remains afterwards, and the tree was completely dead and rotten on the inside.
Makes me wonder how many other trees are out there that look sturdy but are practically hollow to the point where a strong breeze will knock them down.

He was a tree surgeon. Please upvote this simple statement because the post is only 12 comments in and half already seem to think it was a freak accident.
