Ya think it was a little heavier than he thought? The truck was almost at the fence, BEFORE he started to pull................................ ![]() I would like to nominate this crew for the Darwin of the year award! ![]() I can just see them explaining that one to the insurance company! ![]() You know some people just don't understand the concept of space, I'm glad the DIY HO saved the money by NOT hiring an arborist, with insurance. ![]() |

Did I see him get out of the truck, look at his rig, then move the truck closer? I bet his wife beat him silly when he got home. |

The first time I watched it I thought it had to be fake, nobody could be that stupid, so I watched it again, and again, and I even put headphones on so I could hear the background sounds and chatter etc. And then I watched it again............

The point where gravity suddenly grabs the tree, and begins its fateful journey to the top of the car - Plan J would be executed. Beer O'Clock. -> -> I just hope spacial intelligence never catches me out so badly. I guess anything IS possible. |

Everytime i pull with a truck i make sure and recheck to make sure its gonna miss the truck.I usually pull 5'to 10' of slack before i take the belly out of the rope.i've had a couple close calls but never once hit a vehicle.

more like, "Honey, I need a new truck. That old one, well, I was driving... going REALLY slow; and the cab, chassis, and bed all just gave out at the same time!"

Needed a good laugh so I came back to this thread. ![]() I bet that guy crapped his pants the instant the palm crushed his truck. Q & T My explanation would have been that I found it that way when I came out of the grocerey store, no idea what happened. |
