Vancouver Tree Topping

And we're worried about being 20' up??

Did you see when he leaned into the tree to adjust his lineman belts and the slack he had in them? Nothing but his spikes keeping him up there. That is a mans man right there!

A lot of things, possibly worse than death, can happen from just 20’ up.
100+? You’re so dead before you hit the ground, why waste a worry on it? :sweatsmile:
 
You're dead from 30' in lots of cases. But yea, generally anything 40' and up is pretty much going to be a high probability of death if it's a straight drop Have a search through OSHA records sometime though. Lots and lots of fall deaths occur around 12'
 
I totally agree that we can seriously hurt or kill ourselves at the heights we climb while hunting.
I was just making the point that us fretting over safety (and rightfully so!) seems frivolous when compared to the height this dude is operating at. He's up there 100+ feet in the wind, on a compomised tree trunk wielding a chainsaw and dropping hundreds of pounds of lumber from overhead. And he's cool as a cucumber and thinks his videos are not interesting!?!?
I can only imagine what he thinks is exciting, lol!
