haha they are all walking around at the end like "Now what?" Would have been better if they all took off running.

OK, I gotta assume the car didn't run or they would've moved it right?

Why did they think 3 or 4 guys on a rope could overcome a few tons of leaning tree. Pros? NOT!

Love how the dude tries to push on the trunk.

That's the best tree cutting fail video i've seen in a long time.

For them failure was an option. Pro has many definitions.

I kept waiting for the tree to go over opposite their pull and drag them all across the ground.

Here's another one that popped up after viewing yours: http://www.break.com/index/tree-cutting-ladder-accident-1972188

Yep, pros make mistakes too but some mistakes are like say, wearing white after Labor Day and then some are like, invading Russia in Winter.

DO you think there is anything that a pro could glean from either video, besides the obvious. I'd guess there was a bypass cut on the face of the first tree. They could only move the tree so far before the kerf closed and the tree would go no further. Then he had to keep cutting until the hinge failed.. They were moving the tree with the rope..

On the second, with a good face and back cut the tree could have landed flat and not kicked back to the ladder.. the collision also might have been avoided if the ladder (or climber on hooks) was set up on the back side of the tree. A back release cut could have been made to facilitate that. If it was set up right, the climber could even release it with a handsaw cut.
