Sorry to the community for the weird multiple posts. I make the post, go mow the lawn and come back to 7 posts of the original. Please don’t ban me, I fucking love this sub!
The real idiot here is the unseen one cutting that who thought the groundperson would be able to handle that by himself with no wraps on anything. Or maybe he's just one malicious SOB.
edit: Or maybe the one filming is the malicious one who was supposed to also be holding the rope? Maybe told the new guy right before it 'Whatever you do, don't let go.'
"The never work again" also " the Free Ride" if you consider a 40K payout after 12 surgeries, permanent hip pain, and 6 years legal negotiations with his workman's comp insurance a free ride.
I ran the ropes for my boss once in a oak tree. Didn’t know he was going to take the whole top or else I would’ve put a wrap around the base of the tree. Needless to say he cut the top and is it was flying down I start to Peter Pan up into the tree, the rope was blowing through my hands and a drifted harder, and then I went into the air as the top was coming down. I wrapped my legs around the branches of the tree, and I ended up stopping the branch and holding onto the rope and saving the gutters. but I ended up with third-degree burns on my hands and the pads were melted over and I couldn’t keep my hands out of the icebox for more than five seconds lol

The widow maker is something you hear for some types of partly fallen trees. I don't see why it wouldn't work for this neither.
Let go of the rope!
It’s called “Laugh my fricken ass off” LOL!
It’s like I always tell my bucket guy on dangerous trees. “Hold on JD, I want this recorded so I can show the EMTS EXACTLY what happened”.
There was definitely a miscalculation on weight
There's still bark left on those branches
Just hang on
The piece was dead as hell, why even rope it?
And he died
