        This.

        A good friend of mine is an arborist. He's like a friggin' artist 50' off the ground.

            I saw lincolnboy posted, so I came back. I am dissapoint.

            On the other hand, he made a really obscure reference and screwed up the punctuation on a four-word sentence. Meh...

                        Cut 2 took the limb off. By cut 3 there is very little weight left, much of it vertical rather than horizontal.

                        That pic should clarify that cut 2 is what removes the limb. Cut 3 is simply the clean up cut to ensure you do not damage the tree. It also allows the limb to fall in a more level manner, instead of hanging up like it did in the video.

                        Cut 1 is made about 1/3rd into the limb and is there so that when cut 2 is made the limb does not split and run down to the trunk. On larger limbs, it will start to split, but when it gets to cut 1, it usually just breaks and falls.

                          Because the major part of the limb has already fallen by cut 2.

                          Cut 3 is only cutting the foot.

                          IMO even if he did a 3 step cut it would've still been in danger of hitting him as it was far too long. He needed to cut off the limb in sections, or if doing a single limbe have it rigged with a rope swing to control its descent.

                              Yeah, and just to add, it looks like they were just taking the tree down anyways, so cut 3 wouldn't really be necessary.
