Quite recently, I was taking down an Elm with a pretty bad lean. It was only about 30 feet high with little foliage. But, to throw a line in was getting tiresome as i was missing my mark Damned Ivy. I decided to use my triple 20 foot ladders just to gain me access. Raised the first section and the middle section got stuck. Gave it a jurk and as I looked up to see where I was going with it, seen the first section coming back at me. Thank the Hard Hat company for making good helmets.
