Avoid getting pinned by a branch or log - Rigging techniques for Arborists

Have you ever had a branch or log fall into you when rigging? This could help avoid that from happening again...
Dan talks Conor through a simple but very useful rigging technique to avoid the branch or log coming across the front of him and pinning against his lanyard, harness or his person.
This technique is all about looking at how the branch will fall once you have made the cut, and how to manipulate the rigging line to get the piece to fall the way you want it to go.
If there is no stub to hook the rigging line behind, you can make a cut/groove in the wood with your chainsaw.
