A complete idiot! Apparently never heard of professional tree trimmers who take down trees in sections from the top down.

I'm impressed. It's hard to tell how much the tree had been weighted in the fall direction and how much it had been jacked with the felling wedges. There was a helper/spotter watching and maybe working the far side of the tree too.
I sure wouldn't try it, but I have no doubt there are professional loggers who aren't relying on luck.
