[QUOTE="Stumper, post: 52128, member: 2433"] The 2 safety lines rule is IMPORTANT. I had already started using a positioning lanyard in conjunction with my lifeline when I watched my Dad fall an break his back-he was using 1 attachment point that failed. I got REAL serious about being double tied when cutting and having at least 1 line clipped in while ascending. Another point ,a bit more difficult to quantify, is not to try to take too much in one cut. Some of the accident reports I've seen involve kickbak injuries when bucking out a top or branch failure when rigging out big wood. Smaller pieces are not only easier to control but less dangerous if control is lost. Think twice before cutting loose something that weighs more than you do! [/QUOTE]
