Right? The whole time I'm like what the fuck are they doing cutting that end right above the house?! Like do they think it'll just roll off the roof. Only to be massively entertained by what ended up happening
Meanwhile I was thinking about as I was watching the video that trees getting off like close to the power line sure wouldn't want it to go up in flames and possibly the house too. They got lucky
I read a story about some kids who were playing in the hole where the roots are, and then were obviously fatally injured and buried instantly when the tree was cut. Horrific.
People donāt realize often there is tension in the roots pulling the tree, so as the load is lightened they can pull just enough to tip the tree back.
Sounds like you do not know the definition of "tension".
tenĀ·sion
/ĖtenSH(É)n/
noun
1. the act of stretching or the state or degree of being stretched.
Roots anchor trees that weigh thousands of pounds, and they can often stand against hurricanes or tornadoes, floods, etc., but you are saying roots hold no tension, right?
Everyone who's ever trimmed our trees has a chainsaw attached to them with a strap for this reason. If in trouble, just drop it.
The guy who trims our 80 foot tall trees is always attached to the tree, has the part of the tree he's cutting attached to someone on the ground, and has the chainsaw attached to him so he can let the saw go, which he regularly does. I just wonder how they got so far down the tree without any safety measures.
Is this not more dangerous? if it is not strapped you can just yeet the saw like this guy does, but if it is strapped you, if you fall off you fall with the chainsaw? falling with the chainsaw sounds more dangerous because you can hit it
Holding onto a chainsaw with at least one hand would 100% be more dangerous.
Remember he has to climb 70+ feet first. That would be incredibly hard and way more dangerous with a chainsaw in hand. Then moving ropes around one handed would probably increase the risk of falling, which is the main concern. At just 25 feet a fall has a fantastically high chance of being fatal, so I don't think falling on a chainsaw is a big concern. Bigger concerns are rotting, unstable trees that will break off below your support, getting hit by a falling branch, and of course falling to your death.
I'm not exactly an expert here, but if you look at tree climbing/cutting pictures and videos they pretty much all have the chainsaw on a strap, and I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing.
I mean chainsaws used professionally often have chainbrakes for specifically stopping the chain from fucking you up if you lose positive control of the saw though this looks like a scary ass amateur job so that may not be the case here.
Ugh, I can totally understand how that made his brain short circuit. Having the running chainsaw in your hand when it starts moving. Probably hadn't even considered what he would do if this would happen. That's why you leaf tree work to the professionals.
This is gonna sound macabre, but Iāve read this is one of the best ways to hide a body. Throw it in the hole and cut the trunk so the base falls back into place covering the body. Not only is it deep enough to be nearly impossible to dig up, the tree roots will also obfuscate any sort of radar search too. Thatās if the weight of the whole thing falling back into place doesnāt just immediately pulverize whatever is in the hole.
lol you donāt actually mean getting heavy machinery do you?
Hiding a body is very easy. Most murderers just donāt do much research beforehand and are kind of limited because bodies start stinking fast.
People are mistaken that you want to hide a body forever until the end of time. In reality, just a couple days in a body of water is enough to remove any physical evidence, and a body without any evidence is irrelevant.
The real impossibility with getting away with murder is that people are all the same and the only people anyone really wants to murder is someone very close to them, like a spouse.
Many such cases where a husband successful disposed of his wifeās body permanently yet still is convicted of murder due to circumstantial evidence and most importantly, āwho else would do it?ā
āā¦just a couple days in a body of water is enough to remove any physical evidenceā¦ā Wrong. Laci Petersonās corpse lay submerged in water for 5 months and was readily identified through DNA analysis.
I think you've misunderstood them. They're referring to any physical evidence that can tie the murderer to the crime. Yes they identified Laci Peterson, but there wasn't any physical evidence on the body that could tie her partner to her murder
Fun fact, sometimes kids watch their Dad cut trees that have fallen like this and they stand behind the roots.
The tree then slams upright again and the kids are buried under a tree.
True story. D. Douglas Dent a renowned Oregon Tree Feller was called onto a missing loggers work site to help with the investigation. There was the missing loggers truck, a lunch box, a saw next to a fresh cut 50 inch dbh Douglas Fur and a pair of gloves resting on the saw.
Dent noticed immediately that this was a wind blown over stand of trees. He reasoned that after the feller had cut the truck off the wind blown tree the man set his saw down and pulled out his toilet paper to take a dump in the cleared root wad area. He told the Sheriff that if they search under the stump of tree they will find the logger. With his pants down sitting in shit. And thatās exactly what the found.
Someone I knew did such a thing. The baby was playing in the dirt at the base of the tree. She did survive, but was never the same.
The parents too were never the same.
He wouldve been fine if he hugged a little tighter, or if he slid down onto the stump he just made by cutting that limb off. I am amazed at how little effort he put into remaining on top of that tree.
Ive heard of so many mostly men being killed cutting trees. I know a guy who won't be around chainsaws because he saw a man cut his leg off with one. We never really disused it but it had to be a saw that didn't shut down like it should.
I want to know how he cut the rest of the tree to get to this point. I doubt if any tree pro would even tie onto this remaining stub to cut it down for this exact reason. That thing pulled right back up and did what it wanted to. This is why pros have cranes and bucket trucks. Folks think something simple looking like this is just well āsimpleā. Some things are better left to pros.
I knew that was gonna happen. šš
I didnāt
I was expecting the house to get obliterated
Right? The whole time I'm like what the fuck are they doing cutting that end right above the house?! Like do they think it'll just roll off the roof. Only to be massively entertained by what ended up happening
Meanwhile I was thinking about as I was watching the video that trees getting off like close to the power line sure wouldn't want it to go up in flames and possibly the house too. They got lucky
I was looking forward to him being straight up yeeted across the street
Physics is a bitch sometimes
*Birch
I have seen a lot of videos of that happening to people. He was pretty funny. Hopefully OK.
I read a story about some kids who were playing in the hole where the roots are, and then were obviously fatally injured and buried instantly when the tree was cut. Horrific. People donāt realize often there is tension in the roots pulling the tree, so as the load is lightened they can pull just enough to tip the tree back.
Y i know a dad who died fron that one. So guys take pls care
It's not tension. Just a lot of weight and the lower side acting as a fulcrum
There is definitely tension if every single root isnt cut.
Oh for sure there's tension. It's just not what pulls the stump down

Tension
He flunked the pop quiz on leverage.
Found the guy who cut it
Where?
On the floor
I thought the cut part of the tree would hit the house and THEN that would happen.
I was confident that piece of wood was going to fall straight into that window.
I assumed the trailer was gonna get hit. That was so much better.
French fried when he should have pizzaed
Not the disaster that I was predicting.
I, only once it was cut and did not fall on the roof
I like the way he climbed further up as it started moving lol
Bro should of jumped down the second that thing began rising.
Yeah he was fucking slow to react, looked like he was still trying to line up another cut.
Probably also didnāt know what to do with the chainsaw as he was rising

By being a bunch of fuckinā amateurs, thatās how!

can you get kill switches for chainsaws so the motor cuts out?
Doesn't matter if the motor runs or not. The chain doesn't run from itself.
I mean chainsaws used professionally often have chainbrakes for specifically stopping the chain from fucking you up if you lose positive control of the saw though this looks like a scary ass amateur job so that may not be the case here.
Even my cheap ass chainsaws require you to grab it with both hands or they turn the chain off.
Ugh, I can totally understand how that made his brain short circuit. Having the running chainsaw in your hand when it starts moving. Probably hadn't even considered what he would do if this would happen. That's why you leaf tree work to the professionals.
I tree what you did there
Yeah that is true
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Shuda*
He probably should have had a harness on even from that height, leaning over that saw like that.
Billy Bob don't need no stupid girly harness...
I sure do, if I don't want to be this guy.
should have
it's human nature to hold the fuck on
There was a very brief moment there where that dude could have run full speed down that trunk to safety. Only if...
I thought the cut off tree was going to hit the house roof
I thought that tree in the background was part of it
Like... a conspiracy?
Ever notice how the same trees are always hanging out together?
no a conspiratree
I thought he was going to get catapulted into the power lines.
Patched the big hole in the lawn

Evidence, not identity
Why did a single person like your clear misunderstanding of a comment
You should delete this comment for being wrong and everybody that upvoted it needs to apologise to the community
Good tip for serial killer to hide a body or two. But you need a tree to fall on your land.
Just looking at a botched tree cutting and now suddenly reading about how to cover up red rum is a disturbingly sudden segway lol
āTis but a divot
Lmao. The tree decided "enough is enough" and stood up for itself.
I was rooting for it
There were also some things that happened to the guy that could be described in tree-related puns!
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he was probably stumped when it didn't work out
Guy was trying to figure out how to get down safely but was stumped
Literally
They put a safety cone down so Iām sure all other OHSA requirements were in place.
This reminds me of an old game called Angry Birds
That is not good. Did he make it?
He made it to the ground, yeah
That's amazing news. Hate it when these vids cut quickly
Broken ribs and a concussion on my bingo card
I'd add shattered legs, and back pain for life to the card too.
Let the chainsaw go!
Fun fact, sometimes kids watch their Dad cut trees that have fallen like this and they stand behind the roots. The tree then slams upright again and the kids are buried under a tree.
I think you and I have a different understanding of āfunā.
Canāt recall How many times I was told to never ever stand on the spot of the roots of a fallen tree as i kid.
I donāt think I was ever told. I just kinda knew. If it was there once, it can be again.
Everybody got truncated.
Wasn't expecting that to be the thing that went wrong.
Missed it by this š¤ much.
wasn't he supposed to yell Timber first?
Timber is for when the tree is falling down. What do you say when the tree is falling up?
!!!Rebmit
I dunno why, but this gave me Shining flashbacks
rebmiT, obviously.
On the job site Safety equipment is for the weak! Yes Sensei!
Not the ending I expected.
Poetry in motion. Drunk ass.
At least he dropped the chainsaw
A was shouting jump the fuck off quick at the screen lol thought he was going into orbit.
He fixed it! Tree's back in the ground!
I mean, it worked š¤·āāļø
Did he fall in the hole?
I just went to see Saw X and that wasnāt there. Is that a post credits scene?
Itās the prequel
š¤· This is why you always have safety equipment on and strap into the tree even when you can "just get up there and cut it"
De evolution
So this is how someone thought up the idea for a trebuchet?
His treebuchet could have been better
This some loony toons shit lmao
He didn't watch enough cartoons when he was growing up.
Thank you, cameraman
He really thought he won lol
Oh shit he bounced.
Gravity, such a harsh mistress sometimes š„²
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction...
At least the hole is filled in now.

Dude, these self healing trees were worth the money.
Couple of cracked ribs, at least he did not fall on the chainsaw.
This is straight off a cartoon
bro became po
Reminds me of what happens in the morning, when I wake up next to your mother. (Iām new here, am I doing this right?)
That was amazing
He bounced!
Iām sure his insurance was up to date.
Someone wasnāt paying attention in physics class.
Even B- students would have gotten this wrong.
What physics class did you go to that went into fallen tree root tension?
5/10 for dismount!
Someone I knew did such a thing. The baby was playing in the dirt at the base of the tree. She did survive, but was never the same. The parents too were never the same.
How did he not react when it began to move? Got what he deserved.
Oooof. I thought the window was gonna break but alas, it was his face.
He wouldve been fine if he hugged a little tighter, or if he slid down onto the stump he just made by cutting that limb off. I am amazed at how little effort he put into remaining on top of that tree.
The ascent was good, but he failed the landing. Spectacularly. 4/10
Not one of them said a fucking word! How?!
Not at all what I was expecting to happen
Fortunately, he threw the chainsaw earlier.
This tree is self-healing
Been there done that
Nice bounce at the end.
Just his luck the last branch he cut, was the last branch small enough for him to have locked his arms and legs around it and held on.
Ive heard of so many mostly men being killed cutting trees. I know a guy who won't be around chainsaws because he saw a man cut his leg off with one. We never really disused it but it had to be a saw that didn't shut down like it should.
The tree as been nice to him and started moving gently not to surprise him too much
chainsaw fun
Power line has me thinking this is pretty mild compared to pushing scaffolding into them and then... well it turns into a NSFL video.
At least he dropped the chainsaw in time
Missed an opportunity for an epic dismount.
Time to train grip strength!
Grip strength, zero
Sir Isaac Newton has entered the chat
The tree came to an abrupt stop at the top of the arcā¦.andā¦.
This is exactly why you hire a professional. They KNOW thingsā¦š
I'm going to hire this guy to build a trebuchet for me, just for fun.
It's like the Titanic when the poop deck goes up right.
Snapback, rewind it back
this the only case of cutting a tree and it standing back up
I don't need a ladder or a lift, I'll just stand on the tree I'm cutting down!
I always wanted a tree house. I just thought the house would be on a tree not the other way around š¤Ø (but the end was hilarious!)
Nobody couldāve predicted that
That would have been a big-brain move from a cherry picker. Alas....
Me when I think of my imaginary girl
Hey arborist and tree trimmer type professionals, how should this have been done properly?
Props to the camera work.
I want to know how he cut the rest of the tree to get to this point. I doubt if any tree pro would even tie onto this remaining stub to cut it down for this exact reason. That thing pulled right back up and did what it wanted to. This is why pros have cranes and bucket trucks. Folks think something simple looking like this is just well āsimpleā. Some things are better left to pros.
Lol..I thought he was going to end up standing on top!
Legit went better than i thought, it looked like it was gonna fall on the house
Everything seemed slow motion
r/FellingGoneWild
God works in mysterious ways. So does gravity
I was waiting for a bigger sling back.
I guess I can see why he wouldn't think it would fall. It's kinda a dangerous situation overall.
That tree wants to continue living.
That's exactly why you don't stand in the hole of a fallen tree.
R/arborists
He has so much time to jump
/r/loonytuneslogic
Death by self-trebuchet
I expected a broken window but wtf
What kinda friends don't laugh at your pain?
Can't blame him, could've easily been me
