That was big. To big for the crane operator to start moving the piece out of the way before it flipped. Keep that in mind cause there are some pieces that are going to flip every now and then. If you can acoount for the flip then you are OK. That guy went for broke.

Must be an example of that fancy new near balance point rigging?
He was smart not to tie into the rest of the tree, that got hammered, atleast he could vamoose on outta there! There are certain decurrent species of trees that are not very conducive to removal with a crane by virtue of their wood structures. The very worst mistake a climber can make is rigging from smaller higher upper wood too weak to support the pick. Many times it simply means lots of time consuming smaller picks is the safest surest way to remove it with a crane. Most of the larger transplanted decurrent species, while moved with a crane, they are generally lifted from each corner of their boxed root systems, not from any upper wood structure, specifically because it is too weak to either support or balance the pick, even without the root systems weight. Some decurrent tree species just grow that way. jomoco |

you gotta take in account of the leaf weight. sounds odd, right? only leaves but if you are not around 2/3rds the way from where you are cutting bad things can happen. as you just saw. granted situations dictate choke points but from what i saw there it was inexperience shining through. lol.
of course the crane op is a knucklehead too for even letting that cut be made knowing where the climber slung it. a piece flipping is the last thing you want. never mind a half a tree.
