  • Theres one born every minute.

  • Oh, look, they didnt hit that chair at 5:20....lol

  • That was too funny...  stupid people and beer just don't mix.

  • A nice illustration why you either learn the right tecnique or hire a pro. Beer+tree+chain saw-experience-protection gear=disaster

  • Great work boys. Pergola destroyed but I believe not a drop of beer spilt.

  • What a bunch of dumbassess!I haven't been cutting trees for a year and I know more than they will in thier life.They are all lucky to be alive.If that one is an arborist he needs his llicense and certs burned and he needs tar and feathered.

  • lol arborist my ass. if any single one of those beer sippers is an arborist, I am ashamed to be one

  • hope the next tree they drop is a pine, will make some nice boxs to put there remains in!

  • what a pack of spanners. hilarious....almost, if it wasn't so dangerously stupid.

  • Dickheads in the purest form,Leave one of the most dangerous civilian occupations to the professionals boys.You could tell it was going to fuck up as soon as a ladder was involved.And what kind of scarf do you call that one??

  • Eucalyptus cladocaylyx, nice tree, poetic justice id say,perhaps we Arborists should start using our true title as Arboricultural Technitions instead, it may seperate the wankers, just a thought.

    It may if you spell it properly if not, your just another dumb tree trimmer. A tree trimmer.

  • That was stupid on so many levels. No protective equipment. No controlled plan on how to take the tree down. Actually...not much of anything. They probably didn't even have proper insurence, so the poor home-owner is probably flipping the bill for their idiotic mistakes. It's lucky that noone was hurt or killed there.

  • It went exactly where your cable and poor knotch put it. Once the knotch closed and broke the tree was free to fall the direction you pulled it in.

    You should change the name of the video, any suggestions?

  • That was an attempt to drop the tree to the right of the ladder, where the notch was.

    But it did not go where they set the notch for. Because the decay allowed it to rip away first when they tugged on it. It fell back behind the ladder, not to the right.

    Virtually no safety equipment and virtually no knowledge about doing that kind of work right, or how to read defects in trees.

  • It has nothing to do with decay. The notch was very poorly cut.

    First and foremost, the weight of the tree was all over the pergola. The limbs should have been removed to prevent the tree from falling that direction.

    Second, there was about five inches of bypass cut in the notch. This means that essential there was no notch. once the bypass cut closed the tree broke off and the hinge at the back of the notch could no longer work. The tree fell were gravity took it.

  • That would be true if they had actually been properly trained individuals.

    The image seems to show the bulk of the tree over the yard, not the structure - not until they broke it anyway.

    As you wrote, gravity probably exceeded their lack of technique.

    Hard to tell from a video alone, but it may have been best to take it down in pieces.

    It's nice that this video is still posted, as its one of the best illustrations on the internet of how not to be an arborist.

  • arborist my arse. don't give us a bad name. you aussie prick.

  • I like how at the end they blame the "sinking of the titanic" on the tree. I think it might've been the captain.

    That one guy said he was an arborist.  I think his title should be revoked!!!!

    love

  • That tree was tiny.What was your problem. My 11 month old does those little ones.

  • Our work is far from done,treesaregood(dot)com

  • I'm embarrassed to be an Australian when I see such stupidity. They're far from being arborists and another typical example of what scabs go to ... to save a buck. Here in Brisbane not long ago a mate of a scab died in the tree when things went wrong. What's ya mates life worth? Arborists are educated and trained.

  • ...god made trees....only god should take them down....

  • your an idiot...so are these guys

  • ..learn how to spell....you're an idiot via self demonstration

  • this is you tube, not a thesis, thanks for the anal grammatical correction, you remind me of a drowning man grasping at straws.
