That's ok if insurance replaces him with a model year newer, which should have a higher safety rating and better skills.

Square peg, round world.

Sup with the stob in the middle of the hinge?

Short bar, not gutted from the front/ facecut???

Yeah almost wonder if it’s not a “brake” like a shark gill to slow it

Why slow it?

So as not to break it. Or in the case of arborists the sidewalk or driveway.

Trying to slow a fell like that looks like a good way to generate a barberchair, to me.

Better to bridge the sidewalk/driveway. Lay logs parallel to the drivewalk and flop the spar across them.

Magic Cuts have no hinge; the logs free-fall. 
I'll be back to work this week and I'll video one.

Haha.
As I qualify, most times, I learned it from Gord on TB forever ago, and am mystified that people resist it. So simple, easy, effective, and allows for a lack of precision, whereas a lot of cuts like a triple hinge require very precise cutting.
Full-gap faces on big trees are similarly easy, if your bar reaches through to bore-cut the back wall first. If you have to double cut, the full-gap is harder, but probably only as close to as difficult as matching a standard double-cut face-cut.
It reminds me of Gerry's anecdote about learning about the Coos Bay felling cut at the Golden Corral.

I know, I know.
Just being silly and ready to do some tree work coming up this week.
I bucked some firewood and dragged a bundle of 5 logs out of the woods for more bucking last night. Scratched my sawing/ "Ogre"ing itch.

Nope.

No. Cool to watch! But no.
No idea why they're dumb enough to do that on such large cable, but that's a redneck way to find out which breaker is feeding that particular line and to kill it during demo. When it's cut both lines in there are connected by the ax, so it trips the breaker. I've done it on smaller 120v house lines, which pops but nothing like that.
