Common Tree Felling Accidents and What You Can Do to Prevent Them

[@Norm100ful]

I have occasionally cut trees over the past 50 years. My training was reading the operation manual for a craftsman chainsaw and experience after each cut-down. I had not had any injury until a few years ago. I was cutting down a small live tree about 6 inches in diameter between the fence and shed. I made the cuts as if it was going to fall over. However, after making the final cut the tree just jumped off the stump, still upright, and onto my foot. The ground had layers of dead leaves and I was wearing leather shoes, otherwise my foot would’ve been broken. The tree never fell and I had to push it off my foot with the help of my wife. Now I respect even a small tree and try to treat it the same as a big one.

[@michaelgarrow3239]

No holding wood.

[@PlatoonGoon]

Having cut some down manually without power tools I can attest if it's even a bit thicker than 2 inches expect a lot of weight if it has any substantial height. It can be a real shock when you go to move them, cheers you didn't get messed up too bad.

[@philgar7786]

Country boy here. If there is one thing I learned even as a kid... _trees are frigging dangerous!_ When I was still very young, my oldest brother would take me out to fell trees for firewood (cords). Fortunately, he was educated by old timers sons and was very skilled, so I learned the same. Whatever the case and tree, a person has to know what they are doing! And, wedges can be a big benefit for trees on the ground, also. EDIT This video should have covered more, or there should be multiple parts. No one can learn enough when it comes to their well-being.

No two were ever exactly the same but you did an excellent job of explaining how most of these accidents happen and how they can be prevented. Excellent video. Worth watching several times and saving for review later. Thank you.

[@user-mj6sl9qv8j]

I started felling on our property after watching a lot of youtube. Started small, replicating the issues Id seen and then worked my up. I've taken over 100 trees but still limit myself to 2 feet across and low risk. I call a pro when I need a big or risky tree cut - they've seen and heard it all and are practicing their craft daily and need to maintain a reputation for their livelihood - and they still get nervous - which tells you all you need to know about trees. So know your limits and stay in your lane.

[@dellalderman8011]

I was cutting at least a 20" diameter oak tree that had fell from a hurricane onto a power line. The power had been off for a few days and I was not worried about being shocked. The tree had brought the power line almost to the ground. Spacing between the still standing poles was at least a couple of hundred feet. I topped out the branches and had them pulled out of the way and was cutting the main tree trunk into 6 foot pieces. I was working back towards the root ball section of the tree. When I got to where the power line was underneath the tree I started to cut from the top when my saw started to pinch. Hmmmmm. Not putting things together I started an upward cut to relieve the pinch that occured. As I was finishing the cut the 6 foot by 20 inch diameter long disappeared into the air flipping like a tiny twig. I just ran!!! Lucky for me I ran quick enough and the log smashed into the ground standing upright but 8 inches or so stuck into the ground. The power line had tension like a rubber band between the upright poles. My friends said it flew at least 20 feet into the air. Learn from other people's mistakes. This was a big one I will never make again.

Watched a man cut a limb off an icy line, maybe only sagging about 2-3 feet than it should’ve been, and it brought up enough force and sliced his hands off. Freakiest thing I’ve ever witnessed…couldn’t have cut it cleaner with a sword.

[@paulmaxwell8851]

I won't entirely disagree with you but it depends on the job at hand. Simple bucking of firewood, for example does not warrant being kitted out from head to foot in protective gear. The Safety Nazis have made many people afraid of their power tools and fear will get you injured. Having said that, my wife wants to learn how to use a chainsaw. I did buy her all the gear, because it's especially easy for a nervous beginner to get hurt.

Great video for beginners. You can drop trees for a hundred years. But when you have no feeling of a little fear tingling every time you drop a tree then its time to stop and put the saw away or trust assure you will meet that one tall standing son of a bitch that will either kill you ,hurt you or just plan fuck your day up. Having that little fear everytime tells you that your aware that its dangerous and can kill you so you will be cautious but like I said if there is no feeling your doomed. Trust me I know I have been felling trees for many years and have seen shit that has no scientific answer and can make you look in ahw.... Don't trust the fucking tree it dosnt care about you matter of fact your cutting its fucking legs out from under it and chopping it up so if anything it would be happy to kick your ass or put you 6 feet under.
