here's a cut from Friday. Pretty heavy front lean to this massive maple... certainly enough to BBC the trunk... The fibers ripping out slowly actually gives just another second or two for escape and plunge cut guarantees no BBC... there are other methods as well to prevent BBC but this IMO...
Definitely older and wiser can account for the vast majority of "what ifs"... BUT there are juts some unkowns and freaky type stuff that can happen if you're out doing big trees all day everyday....
IN all my years working with Big Jon I only heard him say "that's a first" one time... me too...
RIP to another tree man..
and I always think that we should try to glean any insight possibel from such tragedy. If someone can learn something that maybe saves thewir life, that is a gift from the deceased ... their sacrafice helps us live.
