Sure is, see that piece fall at 6:14, that's the worst thing if you are the cutter, given the height, with a spotter watching above, while the other is cutting, a tug on the shoulder or a shove out of the way is all you can get for warning, of course it was already in motion, wedge came out, cutter should have already been on the move, but.... easy to say, looks good on paper LOL !!!! I've cut a lot of dead trees and if there is no way to get out from under something like that, its time to move on or find another safer way. I've often kept my eyes up top, and go easy with the saw, glancing down, to watch for when it starts to go and something breaking off, rather see it coming, know the saw is more stable or so it seems, dangerous work no matter how you look at it !

cameraman was in the wrong position if that one tree would've kicked back!

Geez. What I have had to do was mere child's play. Very dangerous and very impressive. Really scary when felling the tops. You are belted to the trunk and no place to run. Everything has to go in the right direction.
