Brad was pretty upset about this thread being bumped the other day.
Maybe it should just be deleted?

The difference between a pro and Brad is the pro knows Brad should stick to pushing on keyboards.

That's a bit rough mate...
And only just noticed that this was a blast from the past MasterMind, it showed up as a new (to me) thread so i thought it was a recent disaster.

But there is a valuable lesson here.... Plenty of other threads have been deleted because Brad got upset, this one should stay. For the good of the community.

That's very true about lots of threads......and members being deleted.......
But if seeing this upsets the guy, for Christ's sake let's get rid of it too.

You can't please everyone no matter how hard you try. Why should one member be catered to, above all others?

Keep the PSA and get rid of the retardz.

What is PSA? And who are "the retardz"?
Sorry Boss, can't agree with you. This thread is a great object lesson courtesy of Brad. It points out, clearly and without any doubt, that poor technique coupled with carelessness and poor judgement can hurt a guy. He couldn't have staged a better example of just plain bad saw work. Brad's video is a keeper and a lot of people can learn something from it.
Some of the posts by other guys relating their screw-ups are relevant too. Props to them for having the balls to share their stories so that others don't make the same mistakes.

I just figured we didn't wanna have Brad getting upset. I'm all about keeping the peace here Bob.
as much as I like poking the thin skinned. this thread is a lesson that I and many other members should pay attention to. I am just skilled enough at running a saw to be dangerous when falling trees...just ask fastleo about my skills this past winter.

Did I ever tell about the time I got dragged out of an under-cut, feet first because I missed the fact it was about to uproot?

Yeah, old Ray did. We were 7 feet into a 16 footer, I crawled in to bust out chunks, I heard the creaking and popping, but lots of them "talked" during the process. Ray pulled me out and asked if I noticed anything, I shrugged, I was busy getting soaked in old tree sap. We went to the back of the tree about 20 feet back, I could feel the ground move and heard roots popping, it went over into the lay 20 minutes later.
