If you’re a tree-cutter, it’s time to come out of retirement. You may have thought that cutting trees by yourself would be an easy task, but you’d be wrong. In fact, it can take a lot of effort and experience to chop trees by yourself successfully. Here are ten reasons why you should not cut trees by yourself:
You May Be Injured.
If you’re trying to cut trees by yourself, you may be injured. This can include cuts that are deep or wide, or that go through the skin. If these injuries occur, you may need medical attention.
You May Be Unable to Control the Tree
If you can’t control the tree, it will continue to grow and create a hazard for others in your vicinity. Try to stay aware of where the tree is located and try to avoid getting in the way of it.
You May Be In The Way of Other People
If you’re not careful when cutting trees, you may end up blocking people or vehicles from entering or leaving a place. If this happens, you’ll need to move quickly and remove any obstacles before police arrive.
You May Be So engrossed In the Activity that You Overlook the Danger
If you’re not paying attention while cutting trees, you could become involved in an activity that’s harmful to yourself and other participants. For example, if you’re too absorbed in what you’re doing to notice a dangerous branch falling near your head, it could get hurt.
What to do if you are injured while cutting trees?
If you are injured while cutting trees, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you can, create a safe place for yourself – whether a tree stump or an appropriate height for barricading yourself – and try to control the tree so it doesn’t injure other people or property. If you can’t do anything to stop the tree from harming people or property, get help from others and wait until emergency services arrive.
If you are unable to control the tree, try to create a safe area for yourself
If you’re unable to control the tree and it’s causing serious harm, try to create a safe area for yourself using whatever means available (e.g., barriers, children). Once you have created this safety zone, focus on saving as many people as possible from harm by restraining the tree and removing any limbs that might be dangerous to walk around.
Conclusion
If you are injured while cutting trees, there are a few things you can do to ensure your safety. Get medical attention if you are unable to control the tree and make sure that you are safe before continuing with the activity.
