Spot the mistakes

i messed up in a similar way but without pull rope, surrounding trees too close to let the top freefall and it found its way back to me, the twigs dragging down across my shoulders seemed to take forever

The guy isn’t really very accepting that it was entirely his fault when he described it as a ‘freak accident’ In the opening text

 Under skilled with a little laziness sprinkled on top. Works every time!

The limb above his head likely save this fella from serious injury or worse?

No doubt about that

Heres the video that @stihlmadasever referenced, along with the guys post.  
I hope he has learned his lesson, but for him to then refer to this as a 'freak accident' when it was anything but...I don't know.

I've been debating whether or not to share this but I feel like it could help save someone's life in the future so here it is. Yesterday i had a Near death experience as i was removing a very large Oak tree. The lead I had my rigging block on busted out above my head, nearly smashing me and catching my climbing line on the way down causing me to be stuck hanging upside down while also supporting all the weight of that busted out lead. I had no choice but to cut my climbing line to let the piece lower all the way to the ground. I had a back up tie in point with my lanyard so i knew i would be safe doing so. It all happened so fast and i felt my whole life flash before my eyes. I am a firm believer in God and I feel like this was an eye opening experience for me and will make me better in the long run. There are some lessons to be learned in every accident. I could've had my rigging block set up in a better spot and i should've taken a smaller piece. The shockload on the rope caused the lead holding my rigging block to bust out. It was a freak accident, but one that i have been blessed enough to learn from and be able to live to tell about it. God said he isn't done with me yet.

That's dead tree, hinges are not going to function like normal, it would have been ok with live wood. Should have taken some of the hight out of it in small bites with a pole saw before going for the pull.

Makes my stomach turn watching that anchor point rip out. Is it really that difficult for some to work out the weight ratio. Good job his Groundsman wasn’t standing to close to that one

[westphalian]

that explains it, he put his faith in a god

Simply putting the pull line higher would have mitigated the risk
