Whoa, Chip! glad you survived that one! How it feel to be weightless? Reckon you never had a chance to enjoy that brief moment.

Glad to hear it was just a wild ride, Blinky. Goes to show that even when we're expecting it, it can be more than we expected.

Glad you're OK.

one of my first tree jobs i took off a huge limb off an oak. Stradled the limb and cut in front of me. Went way up and came right back down. Racked.

Funny, I was just reading the new Detective Dendro article in which he recalls his good friend who fell in unison with a tree with decay at the base.

"Falling in unison" gosh steph ya make it sound a lot more poetic than it actually was in real life (as i saw/heard it)

Yeah, it wasn't a falling in unison... it was a friggin crash. No poetry involved that I remember... but when I think about it... it could've been cuz I don't remember much.

I suspect that was less than gratifying. If you're gonna get hurt like that, it should alter your appearance so people will feel sorry for you and stuff.
