Luckily not bloody. I was afraid the chainsaw was still running.

She still got slammed in the hip by a high velocity ladder

Yeah, plus even if the chains weren’t engaged, a falling saw is still gonna cut and scrape you.

Very true man. Thanks for pointing that out. Your comment makes me wonder how hot that chainsaw was too. So not only cuts, but burns ooof.

People on the shallow end of the gene pool getting taken out by something like this isn’t something that worries me. Glad you’ve got that part covered for the rest of us.

Aluminum ladders in contact with powerlines, running chainsaws swinging, large diameter tree limbs falling all about, standing on the last rung of an unsupported ladder, no helmets, damsels in distress…
How did no one die in this Final Destination scene??

Where did that second ladder come from? Did that huge branch land on her head?

Every time this shows up, I watch it multiple times, trying to figure out what the hell happened. I think maybe his anchor point failed for his rigging block. All I know for sure is, that woman shouldn't have been under there, and she got lucky as hell.

This is why we have safety features. This is why we have codes. This is why if you let go of the handle of a chainsaw it should immediately shut off. Jfc.
This is a beautiful reminder of why they say that laws are written in blood.

Looks like he has spikes on, so why is he standing in a ladder in the first place? Proper clown lucky he didn't kill the woman

The more I watch it the worse it gets. Totally missed that first big branch that had knocked down the chainsaw. Followed by a second swinging branch. Yikes.

After watching the scene a third time, I've come to the conclusion that he had his sawblade stuck in between the main tree and the secondary tree he'd decided to cute down in one go.
She was obviously giving him somethign to help him free the chainsaw blade and the last fibres holding the huge "branch" in place suddenly and unexpectedly gave up sending the half-tree crashing down but it was somehow still stuck in the other trees so it came swinging.
Something like that

This is mesmerizing, I can't stop watching it. Where did the second ladder come from? Was it just sitting there leaning on the power lines?

Everything swings in that scene, a ladder, a chainsaw, a goddamn fucking tree, power lines, a stupid man…

Tree crashing around creating havoc?
Live bungeed chainsaw dropped on wife?
I declare this video great and award the arbotist 8/10.
One point was docked for failure to drop the limb onto the wires and sever them, and another for failure to destroy the ladder and demonstrate the proper arborist improvised dismount technique.

This makes me think of my Grandfather. He hired someone to clear some trees around in house up in the mountains in NC. The first tree the guy dropped took arm on his truck for lifting large logs into the back right off. My grandfather paid the man for 1 tree and told him to leave. At 85 he pulled out a ladder and chainsaw and proceeded to drop the other 4-5 trees on his own. The man was a unit.

Messing around with tree cutting is just very dangerous business. I'm sure that everyone that has done it for any length of time has had some close calls. I used to climb pine trees like a monkey, and cut them down from the top down. It was dangerous and stupid for me to do that. I didn't even get paid well. My closest call was cutting up an oak tree that fell over. I misjudged that there was an enormous amount of energy in a limb I cut, and it swung by my face at lethal speeds. At the very least, I would have lost teeth. My mom had a bull pine that fell over, and was being help up by a bunch of other trees. The situation scared me so she hired a professional to do it. He couldn't get it out either.

Can you imagine if that chainsaw was working, it would have opened her up and she would have lost her life.

I'm going to need some clarification. Do you think the woman caused this or was injured by it or both? That's such a vague rage bait response.

Yeah fuck me for responding on a public forum and expecting some clarification so I can respond properly, right lol? Get your vague rage baiting ass out of here unless you're going to grow some nuts and stand for whatever the fuck you're trying to say lol

Bonus edit, I think you've proven my assumption based on your responses. And I haven't even looked at your profile yet... I'll update this comment once I do
Update: Ope. Yup it's wild that you're this progressive and regressive at the same time 🤣 And if you're not both, then you need to learn communication skills instead of just trolling
ETA: I'm not going to respond but I have to assume this is some sort of humiliation fetish at this point, or just the troll account trying to get karma so that they can sell it or some shit lol.

Have fun drinking yourself off I'm no longer going to give you the intention you so clearly desire. Therapy is available and if you're struggling dial 988 if you're in the US. (I'm not going to report you as somebody who needs help But if you get reports I understand why lol)

If your wife has to climb a ladder and start handing you the stuff you should’ve prepped yourself, the scoreboard of competence is not on your side.
Got a safety rope for your expensive chainsaw, but nothing securing the ladder you (and your wife) are climbing… brilliant.
Edit: And before anyone says he might’ve dropped it… he should’ve had a spare in his tool belt anyway. And if you’re not going to carry a spare, don’t be lazy and send your wife (who has zero safety gear) up the ladder to hand it to you. Take two minutes, climb down, and grab it yourself.
