Worker falls from tree to garage roof in Buffalo Grove, 5/21/15

This is from Larry Shapiro:

On May 21, 2015, firefighters from Buffalo Grove were called to 271 Lincoln Terrace after a tree worker fell from a crane approximately 30 to 40 feet above a detached garage. The worker had climbed up with the crane to reach an upper tree limb, tied off a large branch to the crane, and then somehow lost his balance and fell onto the roof below.

Emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene and carefully secured the injured worker onto a backboard before placing him into a Stokes basket for safe descent. He was then transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

Here are some photos taken at the scene, along with a short video capturing the incident and the rescue efforts.
