I would add that we often run stuff to get it through undergrowth/lower branches, but when that goes wrong it's awkward rather than dangerous.

I was out on the end of a poplar limb, which had mistletoe all over, I had to take off 15ft, I got as far as I could but, as you know, it's not the strongest. It was above an outbuilding so I couldn't drop it. I had to rope it off itself. So I said to the guy, I really need it to run, then stop...

It's been said a thousand times, but it's still true. The best groundies/rope men are ex/current climbers.

Wasn't there some block one could use in the tree with a square thing to increase friction?

I have a couple of guys I use regularly, one will not let stuff run, the other is pretty good, self rigging helps. Otherwise just go smaller.
