Makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

Reminds me of that famous Michael Jackson Photo, dangling kid over balcony.

No worries, the brilliant dad has his stylish bicycle helmet on:confused2:

Ironic, indeed!

Dad needs someone to beat some sense into him!

Good way to get attention!

Maybe it was Photoshoped. I can't imagine someone would actually do that, but I could see where it might be fun to Photoshop it to mess with the kid's mom or something.

Good thing the kid has a diaper on.

I don't believe it is photoshopped. I wish it was.

If it was real, I'd like to hope that the tree was already broken/cut off 6 ft above the cut. It's not uncommon for tree companies to bring a tree down in pieces.

I agree, that cut is way too high... unless 'Bike helmet Dude' is kneeling.

:shocked:

Makes you wonder what the guy is thinking, or if he is thinking at all. I would much rather see a picture of him teaching the kid to bait a hook.

I also do no think it is photoshopped. I do think he is kneeling. I think that is a climbing helmet.

I did a little google searching. Appears the picture is of "The Community Arborist" posted to his blog 10/18/2009. There's a few comments on the blog properly flaming him.

Is the stump cut off slightly above the top of the picture? If not that guy needs his.......

If youve ever felled a tree you know in the short term that is virtually as safe as no cut at all. Also, motion there is very slow in the far fetched case of a fall starting.

Still a bit stupid but I'm with you here, spyder... Lighten up a bit guys. Unless you never did stupid things when you were younger. Of course I'm a neutered old man now but thinking back I could've died a few times while I was learning. Not you?
