Not right. The correct phrase is: Whilst off the ground you should always be connected/attached to the tree. 2 tie in points whilst cutting here in Australia is the go.

Although you should always put yourself in the safest cutting position aswell as position your lowering/craning point away from yourself, sometimes the unexpected does happen and wood does come flying at you and you HAVE to disconnect your secondary tie in to jump/swing out of the way.
