I'm great at flying...but my landing needs work...greybeard said:You were lucky and/or as you said, 'someone' was watching over you.
I've dealt with several downed trees or tops like that....never climbed up in one to delimb it tho. I just cut it's 'legs' off a little at a time from the ground. Takes longer and way easy to get the bar pinched but I ain't very good at flying.

Yes , I had on my new glasses and they are a little lighter than my work pair a little limb caught the corner and flicked them off my head. I switched the saw off layed it in the y and was going to climb down get my glasses and move a couple of grapple fulls out of the way. It was a little steeper to go down the trunk and I said that's not safe I will drop down to lower limb about 3 feet and then go down the trunk. I hugged the limb so I couldn't see and All I can figure is without my glasses my depth perception was off and when I let go to land on the limb there was nothing there . My son went u p and got the saw so she didn't have to spend the night outside in the cold.

harness if you are going to climb very high, only $20 bucks. A lot of people have been put in a wheel chair after falls like that.
