| Bad top snatch video| bad ride 3mins and 3mb WMV digitally enhanced view of that video I have had for some time, it's slowed and zoomed with some stills. The man is very lucky. Only one tie in point, his flip line, and it was a few stubs that saved him and stabbed him. www.palmtreeservices.com.au/video/yeeha.wmv

| So what was his mistake, cause i sure don't want this to happen to me. Did he make his attachment point to high? if you know what I mean? The distance from his block to the attachment point. |

| A climber i hired did the same thing the other day. The tree he was in was leaning though. I think that makes the kickback even worse and more dangerous. i thought the top of the pole was going to snap off. |

| Too big a top really, that was the biggest factor besides not letting it run as much as could but we dont know what was down there. Whip sticks.
