Wall of Shame: Wannabe Experts

[MasterBlaster]

I fell my ass down into the bucket!

Nary a scrap!

 

[D.T.Ruck]

Check out the dummy on the pull line. Had the rope wrapped around his hand as if he was going to a boxing match.

 

[Mick!]

I don't enjoy these things at all, I often choose to pass, being of a squeamish nature, but feel I should for my own sake.

The impulse to hold onto a saw is strong, and by the time you have the wherewithal to let go it's too late.

Hope the guy wasn't too badly hurt.

 

[stig]

I'm trying to cypher what I watched...

A complete and utter moron!

I don't know why Darwin chose to let him live.

 

[SeanKroll]

Looks like he cut until it fell, having cut off the far corner, allowing his bar end to get pinned to the face cut, then maybe the log levered down on the tip of the bar, with the stump as a fulcrum.

 

[squisher]

Brutal to watch. He had his hands backwards the whole time too.

I'm glad that I lost the tree that waffled my 461 I was very quick to let go of the saw and see where the tree was going

 

[Grendel]

I've dropped the saw twice. Once on a big wind thrown white pine, and again on a big hemlock. Both times I would have been pulled with the tree, and there was no conscious thought whatsoever, my hands just let go. . . mangled my bar on the hemlock.

There's some pretty wild stuff in parts of this one.

[Bermy]

Oh hell, did you see the one near the start where the guy goes over with the top of the tree??? NOT good. at. all.

 

[Grendel]

I know right! That's why I posted this one. It's not all homeowners and ladders, there's some serious arbie screwups. . .

 

[MasterBlaster]

THAT ain't no shit!

 

[pantheraba]

I have heard of that happening and understand how it can...bad to see it happen.

[Mick!]

He was really rather skilled wasn't he?

Some rather unnerving stuff, going over with top, cutting through his strop.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Haha, I don't remember ever seeing that one.

 

[BlackSmith]

That was a gooder...

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Cute.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

It's funny to see the physical laws in these old anims. Some are pretty accurate, like the wobbling of the crosscut saw during the walk, others (many others) are completely dumb. Very well made and hilarious.

 

[Bermy]

Funny! Good find

 

[Steve Mack]

Not much those old Disney characters didn't get up to.

Anyone seen this video?

 

[pantheraba]

Wow...guy has got a helluva grip! Madness!

 

[Altissimus]

I figure he took a wrap ... Around his Hand or Wrist

 

[MasterBlaster]

That looked kinda fun!!!

 

[SeanKroll]

In my first 2 months of residential tree work, 10 years ago, I took a ride like that. If you're on the ground, its more likely that you could naturally let go. You become airborne and feel like you're on a tree swing, in a hurry. I didn't know how to wrap a tree, nor did anyone else. I decided to exit that crew pretty pronto, before getting really hurt.

Never wrap a rope around any part of your body that want to keep - a lesson that should by taught on week 1, day 1.
