[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1330786, member: 22072"] The fire department here sees a lot of tree accidents. If you want to see what you shouldnt do or what might happen, just watch youtubes on tree accidents. The accident my husband had, the tree was next to a house and had only one small area to fall...He hit that space on target, just did not expect a limb to ricochet up off another tree and straight up and land on him. Was totally a freak accident. Not related to a chainsaw, but a neighbor hired a guy to split some wood at their house. The splitter was something on a tractor wheel, kind of a corkscrew type things. His pant leg brushed against it and it pulled his leg off.....oh the horror. He lived...but was one legged. My husband was pushing up brush with his skidsteer and in the pile was a tree limb that was pulled with tension, when he moved the pile, it snapped back at him in the cab and pinned his leg. Crushed the heck out of it. He was lucky it hit his leg and not his chest. Took months for him to recover, and his leg still aches. I worry any time my guys are out doing things with trees, which is almost every day. Anything to do with trees is dangerous... [/QUOTE]
