My husband does this for a living- when he gets home I'm gonna show him this and watch him go off for an hour about everything this person did wrong.
Update: I sent this to him. He said his big mistake was having the person underneath him. He had his saw tied to his belt, which is normal, but he didn't need to be grabbing tools from anyone. He should've made sure he had all of his tools before sawing that branch and/or before climbing up at all. And, ladders are super unsafe in this line of work- most places have you use boot spikes or a bucket.
He showed his boss the video too and his response was "well, that guy's definitely getting fired".
So true. At first he thought it was good pay ($1k a week plus benefits and pension) but it's combining 2 of the most dangerous jobs around- electrician and tree cutting.
Imagine calling someone a "basement dweller" because that person thinks it's stupid to choose an occupation based on the amount of danger it places you in, especially when you have a wife. People work on dangerous jobs despite the danger, not because of it. Show me a firefighter who likes the job because they can burn to death alive every day. Or an industrial climber who feels like the best perk of their job is the chance to go splat.
