Near fatal rigging mishap

[Macca]

**** That! That's why we go to college!

Yeah, hit the post and see-sawed. Nasty. He won't do that again. Glad he's ok.

Just watch it again and he also said, do you what me to come down and give you a pull. How was he going to get to the end of rope:confused1:

clearly in a hurry to get it on the floor, get it processed and get out of there.

 

no excuse for poor assessment, smaller chunks and more time would have had it on the floor safely.

[Island Lescure]

Wow! That was really lucky

[treenerd]

Just watched that about 10 times! What on earth was he trying to do? It was going wrong from the very beginning!

But going higher and cutting small would have been MUCH faster than setting up all that rigging.

 

I think they were hopping to make a "cool" video

should have puuled of the pine to the left, & left a bigger hinge ,climber side ,would have come over no prob ,

 

yes the weight was to the right

I still think the best bit of the vid is when he just drops the saw at the end in total given up disgrace in what's just happened.

Saw this on a Facebook group a while back, the bloke posted it saying that he was lucky to be writing the post and how things can go wrong in an instant, he got some flak about it and rightly so although I should hope he's learnt a lesson with a slap in the face like that 😳
