That is scary 

[philoshop]

People who know about tree work never cut from ladders. That's how we grow up to be people who know about tree work.

Well I searched “moron with chainsaw, “ hoping to,learn how this guy made out, turns out there are tons and tons of such videos !

I actually watched epic chain saw fails compilation PART FIVE !

id like to thank Al Gore and Bernard Heine for the entertainment.

Unfortunately there are a lot of those videos. Equally unfortunate is that there are a lot of widows and fatherless children because people who buy chainsaws automatically think they know what they're doing. They don't.

That's gonna leave a mark

Might as well lean the ladder out on the limb your cutting

Sad deal there........

Hope the dude was OK..I'd say he'd be lucky to survive..

Saying that, I have had a couple of incidents involving chainsaws that I was VERY lucky to avoid serious injuries...

At it's very best, operating a chainsaw is a dangerous business...

  I was working a storm one time & was cutting a tree that was wrapped up in the wires & had a side pressure on it. I got 3/4 of the way thru the trunk & it let go. Well my foot stayed where it was, the tree hit my thigh & my knee moved about a foot to the right shattered my lower leg bones vertically. I had no cast DR. said they couldn't have put it back in place any better than it did on it's own even if they did surgery. But I could not put any pressure on it for 6 months was in wheel chair & crutches for 6 months to the day!  Made for a long boring summer. I limped around the deer woods that Nov. & ended up shooting one of my biggest bucks ever.

  Lol, I saw that second clip happen many times with the sparking electric lines from guys that said "I know what I'm doing" , well that's good but it will cost you now!

So where would you position your ladder to cut "a few feet from trunk first"? 

 

[G-Man]

Against the limb under cut then cut through.. the common thing in all these accidents are lack of a face.cut while " topping" no under cut on limb so it hinged ( you can see the bark tear of bottom of limb) and lack of directing wedge and face cut when felling..

Don't cut from a ladder. Period.

[NonTypical]

I did tree work for a lot of years when I was younger. The first thing that we would do when using a ladder would be to tie off and get rid of it. 

A ladder causes more deaths to homeowners than any other tool. 

[genesee_mohican]

Running a chainsaw while standing on the ground is plenty dangerous enough. The fail videos are a good educational tool for anyone who uses a chainsaw, but man it hurts just watching them.

Should have stood on the limb then he wouldn't have been hit by it.

Just another example of common sense, not being very common, these days.
