I'm wondering what sort of things that you guys have experienced with tree falling or removals that maybe don't much get talked about in literature or whatever. I know that we have discussed this somewhat before with nightmare stories, but maybe to formalize it a little.
One that easily comes to my mind is falling trees with more than one large lead and the possibility of separation at the lead union. i had a heavy tree that i was falling that would quickly be encountering the limbs from another tree, but i was sure that the weight was going to drive the tree through the limbs without getting hung up. It went as planned as far as breaking through, but one of the leads broke at the union from the encounter and the whole thing shot back like very rad, and well beyond what had been the base of the tree. There may have been some rot in the union is my recollection. There could easily have been no tomorrow depending on where i was standing. Being very careful of multiple leads and branches breaking and firing back when encountering obstacles as the tree is going over, is what i want to say.
