Там вся опасность по башке получить 5 килограммовой пилой. Если вы работали пилой, не важно бензиновой или электрической, отпускаешь кнопку и цепь стопорится. А вот проломить голову полотно вполне могло.
Long ago when Islands of Adventure in Orlando was being built, I worked out there as a scenic artist/painter. I knew a guy who did the stupidest and dangerous things out there when we were all working. The guy in the video who had several ladders reminds me of what the guy I worked with did. We were doing faux finishes in one of the restaurants and without a scaffold being set up to reach the ceiling above the stairs, the idiot put a couple of ladders together on the stairs which was dangerous. The safety inspector guy came along and saw this and yelled at the stupid guy to get down from the ladder and leave the area. This stupid guy and I were in a high reach one time together (big mistake). I went along for no particular reason. The idiotic guy stepped out of the high reach (he was hooked on by safety harness) and put his foot through a thatched roof of the same restaurant. No one saw him do this except for me. I don't know if the thatched roof was damaged or not and it was just a facade anyway. There are lots more stupid things this guy did. Oh, he once got us kicked off the property when we went in to do some extra work on a Saturday. This guy walked behind a building, stood in a corner and peed. Again, the safety guy caught him and threw us out. I could have stayed but I didn't have my truck that day. It took a lot to get permission to be back on the job. Stupid is as stupid does.
@LauraMarin2709 Might have to agree with that. At least as a Correction officer, you can be reasonably certain someone will recover your body if you get killed Underwater welder - not a guarantee. And the Byford Dolphin incident can give me the heebie jeebies. Even if they did manage to recover most of the oieces.
That one was planned, because they were professionals who knew the stump would spring when the weight was cut off, and it was fun for the guy on the springboard. Note the notch they cut for his footing. The others were idiots who had no idea how to cut trees, you never use a ladder. Except the one guy who lost his saw in tje cut because his chain wasnt tight enough. I know tree work, and rule number one, is you do not do it off a ladder, ever.
I grew up around chainsaws. My mother and father each had Stihl chainsaws and were extremely competent in their usage. They would often compete against each other on speed, precision and sometimes endurance (those were long, really long days not ending even when it got dark as they resorted to using spotlights). I cannot count the times I woke to the sound of chainsaws. I think of the horror my parents would have watching this and it brings me a laugh in remembering them.
I took care of a #2 in ICU neurotrauma. The 40y/o male did not get to hear his tree-owning pastor apologize for his kind act he had no business attempting.
My husband's cousin was killed by a tree falling similar to the one that the tree was cut and the tree beside him fell on him. Unfortunately, he was cutting alone, and he was long gone before anyone realized he didn't come back from the woods.
One of our neighbors died the same way. The chainsaw cut through his thigh and half through the bone before lodging. He was found dead in the tree two day later. Surviving family had the tree cut down, sold the house and moved.
A local guy was killed some years back topping a tree. He was a pro and was properly tied off to the tree, but the rebound when the top was felled, caused the dead to to snap off at ground level, and it fell with him tied to it. It's a crazy dangerous job, and definitely shouldn't be done by rank amateurs
