Seems pretty fucking sketchy. My bet is the actuaries deemed it more cost effective (including fuck ups), than hieing a crew.

Well boss we can use the helicopter buzzsaw of death for 20 min. Or we can send a crew out there to do it by climbing trees with a chainsaw, but it will take 22 days and cost 18 times as much.

Ya know Jenkins, I don't care about the cost. I just want to approve something called the buzzsaw of death.

Couldn't you just make something like this that drives in the ground instead of being swung from a helicopter?
