Had a combination of last cut syndrome and wind take a top over the wrong way yesterday.. Wish I could say a gust came up at the wrong time, but it was just plain stupid... last top on a fair sized silver maple, 4-5" diameter, maybe 15' long, from the bucket at full extension... Slight lean, deep face, I just wasn't thinking about the wind.. not more than a steady breeze... I wasn't paying attention (last cut syndrome), maybe in part becasue there were no leaves on the tree yet... Just a bad move.. as soon as the top started to stand up, I moved the bucket into the wind and up, before the little bit of holding wood let go. The piece went straight back 180 deg. from the face, so it wouldn't have got the bucket anyway.. BUT IT SURE WAS AN EYE OPENER! No harm done as it was tied off... lesson learned... got it on video too...
