Offset weight, street and driveway preventing root growth, wind and maybe rain.That is a big mess.
What caused the failure? Meaning wind or something, not looking to go too deep into causes Just yet.
Probably an Aleppo pine.What sort of tree?
Figure 8 on a bight might be a safer choice...once in a while a bowline will collapse.OK where has this 16 foot 3ft sided trailer been? we just shoved an entire silver maple, stump and all into this thing in one load and I didn't even have to dice any of it up, albeit a very dead maple that crumbled a lot as it came down, but no dicing none the less
Job specs are as follows: Remove silver maple, don't bomb the priceless saplings (dude sat through a seminar and had to file paperwork giving the trees locations and stuff to buy them, it was a big deal to him for some reason), retaining wall is being torn down anyways so bomb it, trash the yard if ya want (obviously, despite that we still didnt)
yeah, I know, I have a spliced rope but its too small for the zigzag and the eye got cut off this one, bowline will have to do for now, cinching knots hit the ZZ links

Power line clearance trimmers hacking off one side of the tree, lack of roots on that same side of the tree due to the curb and roadway, and then a wind event hitting the exposed wide open side of the tree compromised by being planted in the wrong location.That is a big mess.

bowline with a yosemite, figure 8 does work excellent, good point on the collapsing, I've had a few come out on me from repeated loading cycles while riggingFigure 8 on a bight might be a safer choice...once in a while a bowline will collapse.
