Holy hell! Was he tied into the piece he was cutting!!?

1st- should of stayed tied onto the tree. 2nd- No kidding its going to react like that when you have the piece slung at almost balance. 3rd- Must have been one hell of a big crane to be able to handle all that shock loading. I am really surprised the crane didn't tip over.

That looked fun!

 

[Tony]

Yup! What Mark said! You can't pay for a ride like that. You gotta get paid for it!

I don't speak the language but I'm pretty sure it said.......HOLY Sxxx BATMAN

 

[Treetopflyer]

I would love to ask that guy

 

[macswan]

He must have left his TIP by accident right? There is no possible way tipping that piece ended any other way than that. At first I thought he was just hanging from the ball, but it looks like he has a strap cinched on one of the stubs. Mistakes were made any way you slice that.

Exactly what I thought. Dude's lucky to be alive.

This one is almost as bad. I kept waiting for the crane to turn over or one of the jackasses in the tree to get killed.
New game: count the safety and or good work practice violations.

I remember this one. I could never figure out why they didn't just drop that tree. Why crane it?

Big friggin tree though.

I'm curious why they even used a crane?

 

[oldoakman]

If I recall, it was a UF class project. That's why so many people. I know when I was an instructor, most of the time about half the class was paying attention and the rest were in LA LA land. I actually caught two once toking up at 45feet in the tree.
