Guy gets hit hard in head...

[Jamin_Mayer]

If I'm not mistaken, the guy has a Husqvarna helmet with face shield on in part of the video, but for some reason, he took it off...

Not a good idea. He has a poor escape route and no helmet. Ouch.

look again Jamin, the second clip happened first, its the same tree, so after he was hit on the head he put a hardhat on for the next part (which is shown first in the video) so the guy aint that stupid. He learned from his mistake.

A+ for the detective work, Grover. I had to watch it twice after reading your post.

He doesn't get hit very hard, or it would have split his head like a warm cantaloupe; but it was close. He might still be hopelessly over-matched, and maybe later he died trying to free the rest of that log, but he did put a helmet on to help his chances. Tree work isn't for everyone, and many will be injured, disfigured and maimed for mixing chainsaws with heights and heavy brutal woods. There aren't a lot of jobs today where you can have your nuts ripped off your body in less than a second for using an improper grip.

So it's always nice to see some PPE before things get even worse.

Ouch none the less. A day like that calls for a beer. Or two. Or three.

Ha! I didn't even pay attention to that detail.

I wonder why they edited it like that?

That guy is lucky he did not get hit harder. That chunk looked big enough to do some serious damage.
