Between the guy that became famous for inventing the cat flap, gas powered chain saws and folks like pcr2 .... anything goes. Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."

As careful as you can be its still very dangerous work. Definitely not for everyone

Before my wife and I were married she lived along the St.Croix river in Minnesota, kinda hoyty-toyty rural neighborhood or some such description. One neighbor was a friend and a skilled plastic surgeon, made mid 6 figures a year easy. Went up on a ladder one day to trim a branch or two on a beautiful manicured lawn with a small chainsaw and it pretty much ended his career. Every tree you cut is trying to kill you. Be careful. Zim

I gave up the gig because landowners always called me for a quote for the trees that required extensive rigging or a crane then wanted to nickel and dime the job as though the tree was in the middle of a 100 acre field. I can see how some lower experienced arborist could find themselves in a pickle and completely recognize some of the Darwin winner home owners climbing a ladder. New Hampshire - Live Free or Die -

The barber chair is the one thing you can’t account for . When it happened in the video it seemed like it happened in slow motion, when it happened to me it was like an explosion ! Never seen anything like it nor do I want to see it again !
