Lumberjacks Almost Get Taken Out by Missile Like Branch
CRATHIE, ABERDEENSHIRE - DECEMBER 11: Simon Lenihan, a full time commercial horse logger, removes a Scots Pine tree from the Balmoral Estate with Salome Du Pre Renier, a 4 year old Belgian Ardennes horse, on December 11, 2012 in Balmoral, Scotland. The Prince of Wales is the Patron of The British Horse Loggers, an association that works to promote horse logging and support professional horse loggers. The horses working at Balmoral are being used in place of large timber machines to minimize any damage to vegetation, soils and water-tables. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)
This happened in an instant, which is why it’s so compelling. Some lumberjacks were about 20-or-so feet away from a tree they were toppling, and when it hits the ground a massive branch pops loose and shoots right at them like a missile.
It clips one guy in the hand, and whoever’s filming it loses control of the phone. It’s not clear if anyone was seriously hurt.
