Crane removal mistake

[Ropey]

I think his must play cricket as well, that was a sensational sway to miss the hi ball coming through, in his case it was the bottom of the tree.

:scared:

[Dean Lofthouse]

I think he did it on purpose for the adrenalin rush.

[Khriss]

He owns a big tree service.

Maybe...not for much longer.....

We can all have the gear but some prefer to own the know how first.

crane jobs are the best IMO

crane jobs make life sooo easy but you really need to know what you are doing. there is sometimes tonnes of timber being lifted above you, rather than falling away from you.

 

Having said that, I would have opted for top spin on that section rather than the back spin

[j r hartly]

helps to have an tree experienced crane driver aswell. someone who hasnt just been lifting crap on a buiding site fer 20 years

Don't be so harsh on the guy...I would hope that after that experience he knows better and won't make the same mistake twice. Only if he does it again can we truly slate the man!

[Mr Ed]

He was man enough to post his vid over at Treebuzz, along the lines of ' I made a screw up, look what happened'.

[MasterBlaster]

Everyone is making that video out to be way more than what it really is.

[Frank]

yeah but I think its funny. lets over dramatise the video completley and turn the chap into a celebrity, so he will get harrassed by his fans whilst walking down the street and people will want him to come and fell their trees like that just to have him in their garden and video him. Then he would be able to just deliberatley fell trees through fences etc and just laugh it off knowing that the cheque is in the post for royaltys for being number 1 most viewed on Youtube ever. The chap is a legend, he managed to flip nearly a full tree on its head in one foul swoop, without having to rip the rug from underneath it, he is an artist, a renegade, almost maverick like. Lets worship the guys skills.
