A few years ago, I had a strong storm come in that took a large oak tree down. I was living on the river and this tree was on the bank with about 1/3 of the roots washed away. The tree fell uphill and across my chain link fence.
Hard to explain the situation, but I had to make my first cut about ten feet up from the root system, and although I was careful--the saw was pinched and stuck!
No great problem, I just got another saw and made a cut above the pinched saw. When I completed the cut, the top of the tree fell to ground--about a foot and the rest of the tree, with pinched saw, stood back up!!!!
Unbelievable that the pinched saw stayed in the cut and lucky that it didn't fall in the river!!
I got my extension ladder and retrieved the saw.
In a situation like this, I ALWAYS look the situation over and try to do the job with safety in mind, but sometimes a tree does what it wants to!! Today, I look back and laugh, but the outcome could have been a lot worse!
