Everybody has to do what they feel comfortable with... Here's a 7 minute video that shows what I've been doing lately, standing in the hooks and dropping big tops.. sometimes I Am just trying to cut above the decay, other times the cut has to be placed hhigh to allow the top to fit in the LZ...

You may think its not safe, but don't be sure of what can't be done... If me saying that I AM good enough to do this safely makes me sound pompous, then I don't know how else to say it... Also consider the alternative, which is often rigging out a big tree over a house or near wires etc, there are dangers involved there that get avoided..
