Amazing video of a guy chopping off the top of a tree:

Fucking terrifying.
Logging is super dangerous. Lot of people got killed in that profession.
I used to hang glide, some people ask about how scary that is - it isn't. If you passed out in a hang glider, you have a good chance of surviving that. But being in a tree, with only some rope and cleated boots keeping me alive - that's terrifying.

I thought about that, but figured the ropes would probably save him even if he passed out. He'd slide down a bit and then stop.
But if the tree falls with him in it, he's fucked.

I don't know why, I always thought this was a perfect portrayal of the Human Id and its reactivity. Note the sign: "An apolitical populace in thrall to the mass media". R. Crumb from the comix wayback machine, and wayback before the internet/home computers.

Ever seen the documentary "Crumb"? In it, I think he discussed his sexual attraction to Bugs Bunny when he was a kid. His brother was enormously talented but committed suicide shortly after the release of the film. He was a real character.
