    skinny pine tree?

    i doubt that would be legal now... you would have to block it down

    Methinks and with due respect to the dead and the survivors, some arborists should do a course in basic physics - car pulling tree = 2 tonnes. tree = 100 tonnes + angle of the dangle factor + gravity = car launched in to low earth orbit... slingshot factor, i love the trebuchet!

    Not at all, a bloody impressive thing to watch. Wouldn't know about the legalities personally. My mate ended up getting out of tree work because of all the cowboys getting into it and massively underquoting, which of course leads to a reduction in safety.
