NOTE: Video was massively compressed to fit file size limits meaning its Low-Definition, and audio is out of synch.
I was out taking pictures video of trees in the wind, huge winds all over the Eastern USA today [12 Feb] and it took about 30 seconds before I realized how stupid this was; watch the tree in the lower right corner, it snapped and fell partially on my head and arm, two staples to close the laceration in my head.
For some reason the sound doesnt synch with the video, you hear the tree fall [loud!!] after you see it fall. You can hear the snap clearly, then me saying 'Christ' and then the explosion of the tree hitting the ground next to the camera, which is OK.
Video taken in Belmar New Jersey USA 2pm EST 12 February 2009 w/ Canon 5D Mark II.
Art is not safe.
probably not good to be hurting yourself but thanks for the entertainment! : )

M, I am really glad you are okay. But the staples do not look like they feel very good. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
