I've been such a little girl I passed out when I had a boxer's fracture. Damn near passed out again when it was set. I could not imagine going through something like this.
It's easier to second guess, but what did he think was going to happen with the limb when it came loose. The pivot point of the rope was in his direction, so that is the direction it was going to go.
As for him not screaming, that is how my did is. I've seen him about cut his finger off and not even stop what he's doing until he's finished. I said something like, "Man, you gonna wrap that thing up? You're gettin' blood all over everything."
...and that's why i pay people to trim trees for me. for some reason i have never felt comfortable with a chainsaw
Hand over the Mexican card!
I'm with you. I hate those damn things. I had two guys that used to work for me that were former loggers. Watching those guys with chainsaw was a trip. They could take a 48" diameter grand oak and mow that fucker into useable firewood in short order, even getting rid of the stump.
