The owner has cut off some lower dead branches from other trees, but he is still letting out the same pitches even now he knows the risk to caravans parked there. It's all about profit, not customer care nowadays.
Maybe you'd feel the same as the owner if your livelihood depended on the number of pitches you can fill.
Perhaps you'd like to explain where you feel it would be unacceptable for an owner to cut corners?
Would unsafe electrics be acceptable for an owner to cut corners?
I've not said anything about cutting corners, so not sure what you are trying to get at. Cut or uncut there is always a chance a branch or tree could give way, same as with tested electrics to tie in with your point (?). It doesn't mean they are 100% safe because they have been tested and sometimes things can and do go wrong which is beyond anyone's control.
The risk of falling tree branches is small, the op was unlucky, maybe should have thought about what might happen on this particular pitch if the wind got up, I would.

The OP might wish to advice his Insurance Company, of his Posts in this topic. Given that he has "publicly" admitted that he was aware of the "potential" risk from a branch falling. Which he pointed out to the Camp Site Owner.
In any insurance claim, you are required not to admit to any sort of Liability, something the OP has publicly done, by stating he was aware of the potential risk. And pointed out this risk to the Camp Site Owner
Failure to disclose the admission, could prove very costly, if the information was to come to the attention, of either the Sites Insurance Company, or his Own. Dependant on who paid out.
Insurance companies, look to Void a Policy for any reason possible. Seems the OP might have shot himself in the foot, by posting on here, before contacting the Insurance company. And by admitting being aware of the potential risk, before the accident happened.
