Plunge Cut/Holding wood failure

Watch as the holding wood fails unexpectedly during a plunge cut operation - there's a few lessons here for everyone......felling zone, escape routes, decayed timber in stem? etc

We need to get clear on definitions.... holding wood USED to refer to hinge wood, though the term isn't used for that purpose much any more.. With all the plunge cutting and back release falling going on these days does holding wood now refer to the back strap???

Surely "holding wood" is any wood thats being used to "hold", be that the hinge or back strap or any other wood thats holding.
