Dangerous tree felling video goes viral

 

You may have seen various videos of trees being cut down, but you have hardly ever seen a person cutting down a tree in this viral video on social media.

The main point of this video clip is that the method used by this person to cut the tree is amazing, instead of standing on the ground and cutting the tree, he is riding on the very top of the tree and cutting it.

The video was shared on Twitter by former US basketball player Rex Chapman. It shows him riding on the highest branch of a tree and cutting it with a machine saw from the top of the tree.

Due to this person riding on a tree and this action, the tree has completely tilted to one side, when he cut the top of the tree, the onlookers thought that it would fall.

 However, this did not happen and some leaves and branches did fall down but it remained at the top. Rex Chapman also asked onlookers if anyone had ever seen such a tall palm tree cut down.

The 34-second video was viewed by more than 6.6 million people, with more than 20,000 retweets and hundreds of comments.
