I find the best way to deal with Hung up trees is to climb into the middle put my flip- flopped feet either side of the trunk and cut through, dont worry about sliding down the tree as it splits the chainsaw will slow your descent if you slide into it :biggrin::biggrin:

Excellent advice there. If done correctly though, the top, cut, section should fall away and the butt section, to which you are safely roped off, should then return, by the weight of the root ball, to it's original position, from which you can make a controlled, vertical descent.

 

Apparently.

 

The danger arises when the butt of the top, cut, section hits the ground, the top untangles itself - de-uphangs in technichal parlance - and falls over towards the butt before you get clear and kills you.
