Industrial Strength DIY-Deterrent

[Gord]

This clip is probably the best example of a 'DIY' tree injury that exists. Don't watch if you're overly squeamish. It happens faster than a person can react.

Hire a pro. I'm amazed that he initially held onto the saw.

 

[Blinky]

He crossed himself as he started the video... it didn't work.

I'm thinking any DIY project that requires the blessing of the trinity is a bad idea.

If that strap was up a little higher that limb would have done more of what he wanted. Then his head would have been compoundly fractured.

I hate to see anyone get injured. Shame that people try to go cheap and do a job that's so far beyond their level of competence.

That was my thought too Blinky, why proceed with something that you're clearly worried about? At least a leg heals, he's fortunate it wasn't worse.

 

[Jman]

Thats F'in terrible. Just watching him try to get down makes me sick.

 

[JeffL]

Yuck! Thats gotta be tough to bounce back from, you're never the same after that.

the trinity was using him to teach the rest of the wanna be, cheap, anybody can run a chainsaw sobs that there is a reason you pay for quality help and experience

 

[Jeff_Cochran]

i bet that guy won't cheap out on anything again for as long as he lives

 

[goodaking]

That guy is defiantly lucky to be alive. I was waiting for the worst to happen, the man passing out and falling off the ladder. Maybe that prayer saved his life!
I have to say that was nasty looking when he broke his leg, it reminded me of Gumby the clay corrector I used to watch on tv.
