    Default Not so much a joke as it is a tree's revenge :)

    Remember folks...clear your fall area

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.

    Guy at work was showing a video on his phone at work of a guy using a chainsaw to cut down a tree.
    No obvious problems until he finished cutting and the tree started falling.

    It is then that you see the tree top is connected to a crane.


    The crane starts to topple.



    And the boom comes straight down and the fellow with the chain saw,



    disappears from view. And no he was not wearing a hard hat.

    Ouch!

    As a kid I often watched - from a safe distanc - e my dad felling large trees. Dad was pretty safety conscious and always took care to clear an escape path from a falling tree.

    Despite this I once saw him get hit by a lump of flying wood (part of the scarf/wedge).

    He was cutting down a large Jarrah and part of the scarf/wedge (about the size of a football) broke off so he stopped cutting and pulled it out of the tree and it landed ontop of a large fallen branch laying on the ground in front of where the tree was going to fall, so not in his escape path. When the tree started to fall dad moved away and was keeping one eye on where he was going and glancing back to keep an eye on the falling tree. What he didn't see was the trunk base landed on that fallen branch had catapulted the piece of scarf up into the air and come down striking dad a glancing blow on his hard hat and shoulder. The blow knocked him over but all he suffered from was a couple of bruises and a cracked hard hat - he was very lucky as hard hats had only been made mandatory a few months before. We had the hard hat at home for years - I wish we had kept it as a reminder.
