I've mentioned this before...Way back in the day, I was falling solo in CT, boss sent a guy out to work with me , I dropped a few trees, I noticed he didn't back away as they were falling to the lay, I (hope) I mentioned something re that isn't wise to stay by the stump, I got the feeling he thought it was manly to hang close to the stump, I dropped a huge tulip, it lost a good sized limb on it's way over, kid didn't see it coming, landed square across the back of his shoulders and flattened him, miraculously he wasn't seriously hurt, he walked outta the woods never to be seen again
I wanted to make a special post for this one picture. When the snag pushed through the crowns of the adjacent trees, as expected a bunch of limbs broke off it and rained down. We'd all beat a retreat...and it's a good thing.
Look at the chunk of limb impaled in the ground, right where Brent was standing as he finished the cut.
That piece of wood could kill a man.
The stump is not a good place to stay after the tree commits.
