Be surprised if he walked away from that.... horrible.
That was a big piece to try snatching on a dead tree.

[Steve Bullman]

Jeez that looks nasty 

[Rough Hewn]

More than ouch. Poor bloke

Natural selection in effect id say.

Rigging off dead trees that your anchored into is for

crazy barstewards or idiots,espescially taking such a big section.

If in doubt of the strength of the tree use a mewp.

Be lucky not to get a serious injury from that one

Can any more computa noledge person work out how to post the vid so it doesn't go through Facebook?

It is pretty grim, but I thought if shared it it might save someone some grief one day.

 

Trees don't get that bad overnight. My thought process is if you're too stupid to get it sorted in time your targets will be getting a tickle, sod rigging it.

Take it or leave it, some other hero can have a go if they want.

2 guys in a bucket form a mewp,hand held sections-1 cutting 1 holding.

Definetly no rigging off that tree..

Sure, you could use a MEWP to avoid rigging.

What I was getting at is that anyone letting a tree get in that state doesn't deserve to have their shrubs intact.
