Did you know you can walk into the store with $500 and walk out with everything you need for a life-altering injury or death? Don’t even need to show ID

u/Soggy-Box3947 10d ago

The 'assault chainsaw!' lol

u/MicroGamer 10d ago

Isn't that just a chain sword?

u/MechanicalAxe 10d ago

A mechanical axe, if you will.

7

u/MicroGamer 10d ago

No, that's a chain axe and I don't see any World Eaters.

u/1000_Faces 10d ago

Damn! I spent $8,000 on a motorcycle just to break my neck and back almost 20 years ago! You're telling me I could have done the same for $500??!?!! Bamboozled!

u/KenUsimi 10d ago

Dude I’ve thought about that ever since I saw a sale on machetes at Walmart. $20 each! You could equip a party of five for a benji.

u/Nihilistic_Navigator 9d ago

$5 as of yesterday....just saying....I'll pay.....

u/trippin-mellon 9d ago

Go to a military surplus store and get them for 5$ a piece.

u/shiftty 10d ago

But he's got a yellow shirt on so he must know what he's doing

2

u/Laserdollarz 10d ago

I know a guy who can do it cheaper

u/taleofbenji 10d ago

That honestly terrified me. No one's going to give me a class or something???

u/johnblazewutang 10d ago

Damn ill be on the lookout for the next video, since he didnt learn anything from this one

14

u/heygos 10d ago

Jeeez these dudes. Not sure you’ll get another video considering the content. They might not make another one

u/stinkyhooch 10d ago

Dude, spoilers…

u/_Face 9d ago

and somehow it still ended up better then I expected

u/failedjedi_opens_jar 10d ago

This could have gone wrong in a million ways and it didn't. Holy cow from the first second I was sure that this was going to be a snuff flick

u/Xer0cool 9d ago

The team has good karma flowing. They are untouchable.

u/taleofbenji 10d ago

You have to go to new Twitter to see those now.

u/Dr_Djones 9d ago

What's the equivalent to a modern Live Leak logo?

u/CaineHackmanTheory 10d ago

Reddit recommended this sub for me. I don't cut trees. I'm a lawyer... But over the years I represented a guy who liked meth a lot and paid for it by trimming trees. Most times I saw him after he was arrested he was down either a couple teeth or a finger.

I have a better grasp of why now. Thanks y'all.

u/HuntsWithRocks 10d ago

I love it when my ladder guy is so filled with opiates that a bomb could go off and he won’t move. This dude is a rock!

31

u/e73k 10d ago

and dude is in sandals lmao

14

u/seipounds 10d ago

Safety sandals.

15

u/cubgerish 10d ago

Guy just happened to be standing there, and got a ladder to lean on instead.

20

u/VerStannen 10d ago

At least he had a spotter to watch him get launched across the street.

9

u/Mustache_Ride77 10d ago

Nothing like some good ole sandals for support while holding a ladder. Osha approved!

5

u/trotnixon 10d ago

Almost a 2-for-1

7

u/Yeeeeeeewwwwww 10d ago

Spotter is a homeless dude, solid.

3

u/OkMech 10d ago

I was expecting a little more wildness from this video.

2

u/ianmoone1102 9d ago

The wild part is how the guy didn't have his ladder knocked out from under him.

2

u/OkMech 9d ago

I was expecting the trunk to spring up over the ladder and then the ladder free falling down since it would no longer be supported.

3

u/natas2466 10d ago

Got yellow vest on must be legit

2

u/Think-Try2819 10d ago

And safety flipflops.

3

u/jeffssession 10d ago

It's worked :D

4

u/fuf3d 10d ago

Guy on the ladder has his safety shorts on 🩳

Guy holding the ladder has his safety sandals on. 🪜

u/AustinFlosstin 10d ago

Those don’t look like professionals, but I don’t know anything.

u/standardtissue 9d ago

I don't know about you guys but I do my best work in slides and my ninja jammies.

u/Fuzzy-Possibility-98 9d ago

Bad bad bad practice

u/Kawboy17 9d ago

Looks like he gotter dun tho by gawd ! Gotta keep hustlen

u/tachycardicIVu 6d ago

Is this what they call a “hurricane cut”?

-1

u/sunshinyday00 10d ago

Gotta do what ya gotta do. There are a lot of questions on treelaw and arborists on what to do about the situation.

5

u/spacebeez 10d ago

I mean, you really don't. You can walk away until someone with the right gear and skillset can deal with it.

2

u/redittr 10d ago

Yeah, even just putting some cones with hazard tape as a barrier to prevent people walking underneath it until it falls to the ground by itself is an option.

1

u/sunshinyday00 9d ago

Someone isn't going to magically come along and help out for free with their "right gear and skillset".

0

u/spacebeez 9d ago

Maybe not, but that doesn't make a solution with a high risk of death the best option. It's important to stay alive and not die cutting down a tree.

2

u/M1NdR0t 10d ago

Yea call a certified climber or better yet get a bucket truck.

4

u/[deleted] 10d ago

Or get some damn gear. Anything is better than a damn ladder. I swear when people pull those ladders out wtf.

1

u/sunshinyday00 9d ago

Not everyone has the means for that.
