Glad to hear from you to tell us what not to do.
I am glad that you are alive.
I was brought up in a bush being my dad cut out cedar swamps and I did have a cedar on top of my leg when I was young because I was wrong place.
This from Forbes

America's Most Dangerous Jobs
Job Number Of Fatalities Fatality Rate*
Timber Cutters 105 122.1
Fishermen 52 108.3
Pilots 230 100.8
Structural Metal Workers 47 59.5
Extractive Occupations 69 53.9
Roofers 65 30.2
Construction Workers 288 28.3
Truck Drivers 852 27.6

My dad has a cell we bought him because he still wanted to go to bush alone and work even though he is retired.
Its dangerous work and anything can happen even after 1000 times.
Had a tree leaning real heavy back so I made my cut and moved back and that darn tree defied gravity and came back my way to get me. I seen it coming and got out of the way. I dont know why to this day how the tree changed the laws of phisics, but it did.
We buy dad wood now in the log form delivered to the property to keep him out of the bush alone.
Knew a lot of bush cutters in my time and heard a lot of stories.
Glad to here this one from the person himself.
Be carefull out there.
Buddy system is nice if working dangerous jobs
