Did the 'groundy' use a stick to 'unload' the static electricity? Or was he betting on the release by putting it on the ground. If the static electricity isn't released properly it will kill him one day.
It's a rough method but it gets the branches off, like it or not.
I've seen the similar pruning techniques used in Scandinavia.

I was wondering; what would happen if that thing "kicked back"?

Yeah, I was thinking they probably alternate direction of rotation; or maybe all cut up on the forward edge, to keep the thing from grabbing and bouncing up. Looks very dangerous to me.

They have been in business for many years, at least 14 that I know of. I was in Louisiana and they done some work for Gulf States Utilities in the Atchafalaya Swamp when I was there.
It is a cost effective way to do the necessary work. Some would say, and have made mention here about "Proper Cuts". It is in remote areas that this work is done and doing "Proper Methods" would more than quadruple the cost vs. aerial trimming. Even if the trimming was done by conventional methods it would still be stub cut by a Jaraffe trimmer and still cost double due to the limitations of terrain and accessibility.
