bigted, it never ceases to amaze me what some people think they can do, chainsaws and trees are readily available and people think you just hang onto a chainsaw and down the tree will come. The bloke across the road has just recently returned to work after falling using a chainsaw on a ladder that slipped and dumped him 6 months ago.I never got to check that saw but I have a feeling the chain was on backwards because from the amount of time I heard it running till he fell and it was only a 3 inch diameter branch. If he had tied the ladder off and used a bow saw he wouldn't have spent weeks in hospital and rehab
