    Check out this video on YouTube:




    At first I thought it was fake then I realized this is why we have so many warning labels.

    This should come as no surprise to me as I'm accustomed to peoples stupidity in my profession

    If you watched part one then you will love part two. It will make you cringe.

    Commentary was entertaining too. jetjr ought to have some thoughts here too as to how close this cluster fugg was to becoming much more of a human BarBQ than just an idiot with his 4 stroke chainsaw... :picard:

    Wow. I watched them all no sound, but I probably would've been laughing so hard that I would've missed most of the video.

    I don't feel bad about my work compared to these idiots. That power line tree should've at least taken power lines out and blocked the road at bare minimum. There's so much wrong with that last vid its amazing nobody got hurt.

    x100!!!!

    The power line video..................I would've climbed the tree (or had someone climb the tree) to get a line up high enough to where I had enough leverage to pull that bad boy over once I'd cut the notch and got into the back cut a bit!!!!

    Thing is about these videos that gets me is this.............................If I were that ignorant/stupid/careless about doing something; and I video'd it, I sure wouldn't be putting it on "you-tube" for all the world to see what an imbecile I am................or possibly was.........in a worst case scenario!!!!
