Sadly, and I´m not suggesting that this is the case in this incident, it is all too common in Mallorca to see builders and other workmen NOT wearing safety equipment - ear. defenders, goggles, hard hats, safety gloves or harnesses when chopping down trees etc and not having someone "footing" a ladder. It is high time the authorities clamped down on these bad practises.
