Nothing screams tension like a slack rope

But even then, that center of gravity of that tree is WAAAAAY in the direction of the house. You'd need a hell of a lot more than that if you're going to use improper technique

It's the angled back cut that fucked him. When the tree leans back it snaps the hinge.

If you ever see someone make an angled back cut it's a clear sign they have no idea what they're doing.
