Cypress wreck.

[skyhuck]

It wasn't the unions it was the roots of the single tree that failed where it was braced to the multi stemmed cypress and also rot in the multi stemmed

 

 

Watch it again.

 

The unions fail which means the single one (which is attached to the others by the failed top) goes over with the stems from the failed unions.

you cant really say that just from watching a vid though, looked pretty brown inside, i MAY have climbed it, or atleast climbed the smaller one.

The guy in that clip is a very experienced big tree faller, i dare say more so that anybody on this forum(perhaps any of the others too), im sure he anticpated the possibility of failure and his rapid escape shows his general awareness of the task at hand. Good on him making the video public i say.
