Thank you for sharing this. I have much respect for someone that posts a video on the internet of something that didn't go right, and follows it up with "what I should have done".
I am a training officer for a large fire district. If you don't mind, I will plan on using this video to show 1) Falling snags is extremely dangerous and shall only be done by experienced class c fallers, & 2) I expect folks to share and learn from near misses (both theirs and others near misses).
Com: Brent: In case anyone missed it because of the camera disruption, barber chairs are one of the few occasions where subconscious instincts allow a human being to instantly teleport away from danger 10-20 ft at a time.
It happens so fast no one ever quite remembers exactly how they got from point A to point B. Sharting oneself is one possible unpleasant side effect of this particular phenomenon. Failing to drop the saw before teleporting is another.
