Falling and bucking trees are dangerous activities. You have the danger of the saw, plus the danger of wood high above you that you are setting in motion. Bucking offers plenty of opportunities for kickbacks and springpoles to smack you. Storm damage is a nasty brew of both falling and bucking, and the temptation for homeowners to get up on a ladder to deal with broken trees causes death and injury on a regular basis. Keep your feet on the ground and wear your safety gear. Plan every cutting operation carefully so you don't get hurt. Susan and I walked around this minor mess for an hour to figure our safest strategy. It worked out well, but we were both on edge through the entire process.
