I think I see some new OSHA regulations in the works...

HAVE YOU SEEN MY MOOSE?

Without the picture, this would be hard to believe.

Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks , Alaska

'They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated.

He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem.

He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved!'

Alright, which one of you was this? :wink: :grin:

I think this one has been floating around for a while. I saw it a few years back, I think.

"No wonder that moose was so difficult to pull across those poles.
Someone tied a bunch of wires to it!" :grin:​

Back in the 60's it happened to one of the kids playing behind Elmwood Elementry School in Baltimore County , Maryland. Contractor was pulling rope for new towers and the kids thought it was fun to hold on and let go when they got a few feet in the air.. One didn't let go (froze), hit the pulley and fell to his death after hitting the steel tower on the way down....
