The bugger dropt a ton of wood on his nut! If that's looking out for someone...
He plays rough!

I'm not religious, but...
If I were god, I'd have done exactly the same.

Simply putting the pull line higher would have mitigated the risk 

Doubtless. But still, that branch was so fragile, look how it shattered as it came down. I would have roped it with a dyneema winch rope from the ground, and just broken the branches off with chain come along. Have done this before, there's no stretch in the rope or chain, the branches just snap and fall.

id say the fact that the tree was so dead made him reluctant to put the pull line any higher.

lucky not to get really hurt.

id say a mewp would of been a good option.

A simple monkey fist would have easily got it to the required height 

or even realizing what he did wasnt going to work would been a good start, pretty silly mistake really.
