This is about as unbelievable as it gets.

I watched the slingshot video and regretted it. I don't think I'm going to watch this one.

Nobody gets hurt. But, nearly so. Total amateur chainsaw job.

Looks like Michael Moore with a chainsaw - at least he had a good saw, someone must have told him what to buy, 'cause most folks like him have a cheap Walmart saw to match their ability.

He never killed the saw either... even when he finally stood back up after the trees fell... scary stuff

I figgered it all out 'bout 20 years ago. It cain't happen to you lak dat less'n y'alls gotsa chainsaw in your mitts. JUST SAY NO--to chainsaws.

Sold mine about 20 years ago and happily pay anyone else silly enough to run one.

Heck, I recall being about six years old and watching my dad saw off a limb on a big ol' tree with a carpenter's saw. He had the only available ladder leaning against the limb. When the cutoff part became detached, the part still attached to the tree sprung upward a few inches and, suddenly, that ladder was leaning against nothing but air. Somehow, Dad managed to drop the saw and wrap his arms around the limb to keep from falling. The trouble was the ladder was still too short to be of any help.
