No Ekka, it was a big tree like 5' where I was. I made the last cut with one hand, stretched out, hiding my body. When I fast cut tops that are straight up and down, its with one hand of course and I often give the top a shove as soon as it breaks free. If you have stripped the tree you can hold the top for half a second and push/ throw it down as well. When I was being taught this method I screwed up and let a birch top hit the primary, good thing it was new line and single phase, it pushed the line down and got flung off. My foreman was standing on the road watching, he gave me the thumbs up and laughed. I dont advise it for harsh leaners, unless you have a bigger saw with a short bar, the 020/200 just can't cut fast enough.
