Riskiest part of tree service?

Trying not to go postal when that 3 day job check bounces.

I hope you’re not speaking from experience?!?!
If they fail to pay, just put the trees back!

I don't find the climbing part of the job overly dangerous. If you have a healthy sense of fear and take precautions almost any job can be done safely one way or another.

If it can't...don't do it or call someone with bigger equipment

Complacency is the big one, I know that's cliche but all sorts of silly things can get you if you're not paying enough attention.

I once broke multiple bones in my hand because i was standing on a skateboard and let my ADD get the best of me. Something caught my attention and I turned to look. Lost my balance and went straight to the ground lol.
