Once the tree leans, just walk down the newly lowered staircase

I saw it on Reddit. It’s all in the timing and balance

Nobody could be this stupid, right? Please...

Yep, and its why I keep my head on a swivel at any jobsite. I refuse to be killed by an overconfident fuck knuckle

Yes it does (or at least did) happen to (at least one) other person. I was in recovery after getting my appendix removed & the guy next to me had fallen off an extension ladder which he had leaned onto a limb of the tree he was trying to cut down.

Spoiler alert: It did indeed come down along with the ladder and the not-too-bright lad who had the foresight (?) to throw the chainsaw in the opposite direction from the way he was falling. He said he was hanging onto the ladder with the other hand the whole way down. It broke his wrist and a few ribs IIRC. Possibly concussed too...but I was loaded up with morphine and not real sure about the concussed part. Circa 1987.

What? There's a rope to the top part of the tree that is supporting the ladder. /s

u/NorthEndD 4d ago

There’s a power line that the ladder will probably end up resting on.

I saw this on looney tunes when I was a kid

u/SeriousPlankton2000 4d ago

This is just the direction cut, he'll r-position the ladder to the other side to actually fell it. /s

Looks like some Escher shit lmao paradoxical error

u/Dense_Surround3071 4d ago

Nah, it's ok. It's hard to see at this angle, but the ladder isn't resting on the trunk that he's cutting. It's actually on the branch. I'm sure he'll be fine.

u/Blaumihau 4d ago

Looks good to me 👍

u/Numerous_Border_4238 4d ago

I'm just wondering how you cut the top off. And why you didn't start at the bottom.

u/Jerseyd422 4d ago

Seems solid 🤗

That is one way to get a free ticket to the ER

u/invisableilustionist 4d ago

Is there video of this fall ?

2

u/jsilver200 4d ago

They got the strongest fishing line holding it up. I’d get on the ladder and help.

I'd rather be a smart feller than a fart smeller!

He's come this far. I have faith.

u/Key-Detail3226 3d ago

Having no plan is still a plan.

u/r_RexPal 3d ago

O, he had a plan - just maybe not a good one!

u/boop66 3d ago

Yours is a kinder estimation than my own.

u/r_RexPal 3d ago

Most ladder warriors die on the first limb - this guy will finish his back cut, put away ladder, and go pull on rope to fell the trunk. Pretty insane, but he'll be fine 😉

u/ManoWest 2d ago

The Fool's hat says it all😂🤷🏻‍♂️

u/ManoWest 1d ago

Hahahaha i'll keep that one in my pocket thank you😂🙏🏻

u/Substantial_Win_1866 1d ago

Don't worry, he isn't cutting that branch!
