Sounds like it wasn't actually a tree well casualty? Though he was found in a tree well, sounds like hitting the tree first was the issue here. Trees are dangerous even without wells, as many can unfortunately attest.

As I posted in the other thread, even one is too many.
Sad, just sad.

Tree well death at Timberline OR yesterday. Lots of death this season, especially the last few weeks. Be careful out there :(
