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.

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.

THE CALM ONE!!!!
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

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.

He was really rather skilled wasn't he?
Some rather unnerving stuff, going over with top, cutting through his strop.

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.

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.
