axe stayed put... Look at where the chips lie, vs where a cutter might be standing.

She hung up pretty good there throwing the butt up around right at you there on the right side, nothing like dancing with the devil.

and the winner is... (ps all you get is a pocket full of belly button lint)
Twas supposed to go just to the left of those 2 leave trees, but she hooked right into em, slipped off the butt, and swung hard at me.
I turned around just in time to see the fibers blow by, and feel the wind in my beard.
It went all the way down, and didn't get hung at all.
Reason #2 why folks should vacate the stump.

We've all had it happen, hell it can happen even in a feller buncher beginning of the month I had a fir do the same thing from an alder that was hanging out in my row ahead of me.

Not the first time, won't be the last time.
Just hope I'm not in the way when it does

I ran from nearly every tree and from quite a few bucking cuts.

Fairly common thing to have happen. At least the tree that got slammed didn't come back to visit with you. My friend that I used to cut for had 1 half of a school marm break off and come smash his leg. From a similar situation . tree with some belly in it didn't want to quite go where he wanted it to.
Glad your OK and nothing got smashed !! I see you have full comp on your saw.

Happens all the time in select cut hardwood north. Had a cutter who didn't run from the stump and it slipped back and swiped his leg. Another 6 inches would have been some serious trouble.
Good times yeah?
tried one out 2-3 weeks ago, then ran out and bought an entire roll.
Of course I bent that brand new one yesterday... stoopid limbs...
UPDATE
Finally got hold of the historian/archaeologist with this question; he's looking into it. Knowing him, this will lead him into a rabbit hole that will keep him busy for weeks.

There ya go again commenting on **** you know nothing about. How much trim on that log? how far back does the split go, does the mill care? is it pulp? do I care?
Do you even understand how logs are scaled and graded?

He is and always will be a turd in the punch bowl type of guy.
It must have been a bad day.
Really you are so lucky to still be here, what were you thinking when you fell that tree into those others when there was so much open space available to miss them? splitting a good bole like that on a crosscut plus falling the tree into the others are classic beginners mistakes or someone experienced who was off with fairies, don't worry we were all beginners once & we have all been off with the fairies at some time, nothing to get your mangina all uppety about.
If we only had a dollar for every every time a ****** said something like that we'd all be rich men.

What open space? You mean the busy road? the Power lines? or the Fence?
As for splitting, that was bucked off at the break where the top blew up, so I call it a win.
Once again, commenting on **** you know nothing about

We'll never really know, you've removed the picture evidence, I must say you're a very tidy logger to drag away a blown up top before the money log, thats a lot of work covering up for a brain fart which we all have at times.

Never deleted any pictures, just the link from your post to make things clearer for the average reader that hasn't figured out just how utterly full of **** you are.
As for the top, its still where it landed, 3 feet from where the end of that log was sitting. Cause in fact I make one helluva mess and don't bother cleaning it up until I"m done as I have nothing to hide.
You spouting off about broken logs, is merely confirming your ignorance, or just being an *******, either way, blowing up a picture on a stem that was 74' to where I bucked it at around 7" and claiming its a waste is foolish, as the rest of the top would have been thrown away anyways.
I can't sell anything under 5" or less then 16' regardless of species, losing a little bit of the top is not a big deal when the tree was only about 90' to begin with, if the tree was 20' taller, I could have gotten a 3rd log out of it with no issues.
Sure I could go broke limbing for pulp, but frankly I have better things to do with my saw gas and sweat.
Enjoy talking to yourself on ignore.
