That lower limb had a very strong union is all I can say, it supported the limb with included union until eventually it sheared under the massive pressure. You can see how that limb unzipped once it reached the bottom of the zip the fibres were strong enough to hold the limb on.

From the comments on the vid you would think the whole thing was due entirely to the cameraman holding his camera the wrong way.

there was a tree local have to look it out chap was killed when it just fell down without warning. very sad on council land.

the musician was risking it a bit recovering his instruments from under the tree. i would have stayed back can replace them but not your life.
