[QUOTE="treeclimber165, post: 50636, member: 215"] Good point, Dan. I've always relied on my strong sense of self-preservation and gut instinct, in combination with learning safe methods and using safe gear. I've been in many situations where there was a chance of a limb coming back into me, but I could not figure out a safer way to cut it. In those few situations, I used common sense instead of 'blanket rules' and unclipped my lanyard before making the cut. I knew that if the limb did come back into me, I could swing out clear of it. This method has saved my butt a couple times, although as the years pass I need to do this less and less. I'm getting better at not putting myself in that position to begin with. [/QUOTE]
