    Ropes probably break when too much saw force is applied to them. That sucks he fell.

    Jimmy, the Somatics is available used, online, cheap. I bought it at Merle's suggestion, but haven't gotten to it, yet. Good nutrition and hydration are things that can help your healing. Ask your medical people about how much calcium you should get for healing bones, etc, etc. I forget if...

    That wasn't the video i was looking for, but so it goes. It's more impacting to see a real person drop instantly. I'm not perfect about always tying in twice.

    Work safe. Take what you can from another's terrible tale, so it's not for nothing.

    Good Luck, Jim. Keep us in the loop. Wishing you the best recovery possible. Tie in twice, with any saw. A handsaw will cut a tensioned line like a hot knife through butter. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a4QSQOCZ-w4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Dave, I think you hit the nail on the head. The base-tie being cut by the falling wood is a different thing, and mitigate-able. Still, its about being aware of your whole system and site, and adjusting to every new situation. A benefit of being the boss, sometimes, is setting the safety level...

    I didn't see this link, initially. I gotta get payment on some jobs, first.

    I tie my basal anchor 6' high on the trunk if dropping wood. Another tree is even better. If you're spurring up, is easy to move to 8-10' by climbing the trunk a few feet, leaving your emergency lowering system in easy reach of a garbage can.

    That sucks. It's not that hard to find your "second " strand, if you choose. Two strands to track, as with ddrt. Lanyards are good with a saw, hand or power saw.
