That could have ended much worse: 😨

Him afterwards…

I've cut a butt load of trees as a Journeyman Lineman. Whewwwww. Lucky the barber chair didn't kill him. Know a guy that was drug over the stump and fell with a limb. He passed.

Back cut first and no drama.

He actually tried grabbing the blade...

This happened to someone I knew that use to do this kind of work once. He told me that after that he packed 3 knives with him that he kept razor sharp he could easily reach. He suffered from 2 fractured ribs.

Bet he never forgets that day.

I had alot of fun doing that when I was 18 until I busted that hand hold that was decaying full of termites there had to be millions all over me i had to rip my shirt off chainsaw hanging still running and beat them off of me i couldn't climb down i had a cut to make.

The customer comes out later screaming at you for not finishing the job.

That could have gone very badly for him. That’s just luck.🙋‍♂️😳

The prusik on his lanyard will eventually slip under enough weight, it was pulled through all the way to the end where it was spliced. He reacted just fine once he was able to assess the situation

Pucker factor 10 of 10

bet his fingers are glad dude knows how to operate that brake right about now Hot Damn!! lol

Why is he using an electric saw?

This brings back a memory I don't have, but was told about once I regained consciousness. My first job out of highschool was topping & removal. One day while climbing up the ladder, about half way up I had a seizure. BAM! Straight to the ground. Luckily, I had the safety switch on & never flipped the switch when I hit the ground bc the chainsaw was clipped to my belt. Apparently it was running, they said. How wild is that?

Bro, throw the fucking saw! Wtf is wrong with you?

And this is why there are no female arborists.🤣

I saw a sign that said “Watch for Falling Trees.”
It seemed a bit redundant… and kind of dangerous to be standing there nailing it up.

at that point im dropping the chainsaw and climbing down after i turned off the chainsaw

Break time

Why do all of these video captions always have shit grammar?

I promise you guys it's even scarier when your not tied in and your lanyard is your only safety line

You're*

Great save. He had to cut the rood to free himself - its steel core which is het it took a couple goes. He should have bore cut that or taken a smaller section tho.

Good

Notch the tree next time DF 😂

Been there

That'll leave a mark!
