In the middle of this tragic accident report, we also find current information about the wood industry presented by Bernhard Ebner. The young entrepreneur, who entered the industry in 2010, has established himself as a one-man wood loan company. With a modern machinery, it creates around 6,000 solid meters of wood every year by removing old trees and damaged wood and creating space for young tree cultures. Despite his success, Ebner reports on the challenges with which he is confronted. Weather conditions, blocking away in winter and the bark beetle plague represent significant challenges that can affect its yield directly. He says: "For me, standing time means less money", which clarifies the consequences of the accident in the forest all the more urgently, because safety -relevant factors are also of great importance in this industry.

The accident and the associated risks throw a light on the dangers lurking in the wooden harvest. Since many factors can affect the productivity of a wooden bailout company, it remains to be seen how the industry will recover from these challenges.
