It seems to be flat, so I'd guess it is one of those ropes they use use to tow cars or maybe those to secure a load on a flatbed. That would explain the length, pretty much.
Yeap, a strap. English isn't my first language, and I can't recall a single instance of me describing this object, so I couldn't recall the actual word even if I knew it, but now I won't forget. Thanks.
I reckon they were thinking about the next 12 pack after the 12 pack they just finished drinking and decided that while they were waiting for delivery it was time to deal with that old dead tree the missus had been complaining about for the last year right then.
The dude with a hatchet. Lolol. You’re doing amazing sweetie
🤣🤣🤣
I’m gonna pull this tree towards me. Ah! This tree coming towards me!
Let's escape through this steam pipe. No good! It's full of steam!
The butter in my pocket is melting!
Let off some steam Bennett.
I didn’t realize you were such a “coin-asseur”
Time to recall the lessons from my graduate degree from the Prometheus School of Running Away.
That got a fuckin chuckle outta me
I can’t wait until we get the vid posted from the kid in the back with the steady hand and a front row seat to the action.
I'm proud of him for staying right on target. r/praisethecameraman
How did they even find such a short rope for this? Did they go get a regular rope, think it looked to long, and take the scissors to it?

A strap?
Yeah like a strap...but for towing!
Tow, strap hmmm if only we had a word for that
Strap-on? Pullover?

Could be a shitty ace rope that they put too much tension on and made it flat.
I've sawed, hand sawed repeatedly through ~16" freshly blown over trees. Yet 3.5 men couldn't take turns with a hand saw? OK.
I like how the crop is kind of framed like a wes anderson movie
Take that, bill murray
I'd watch /cul-de-sac/ ft. Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, and Owen Wilson.
That went as you would expect.
I must have too much faith in humanity the guy getting hit at the end did mildly surprise me. I thought they would at least step to the side.
I expected the car to be damaged, too.
The faster you get a victim up, the less damage he takes.
This also applies to motorbike accidents, bar fights, and other such contact.
/s, obvi.
Well it worked. Tree fell. Guy fell.
Wild
Remember kids, if a tree is falling directly on you, do these two things as shown here:
Dude in the back wasn't even doing anything really and probably didn't need to be there.
I can only assume he lived because his shoes stayed on.
Did.. did that guy get back up?
This is seriously dumb. What were they even thinking??
One more day without ever using the math they made me study in high school.
Hell, 1st grade math would've prevented this: (height of tree) - (length of rope) with the ideal answer being a negative number.
I reckon they were thinking about the next 12 pack after the 12 pack they just finished drinking and decided that while they were waiting for delivery it was time to deal with that old dead tree the missus had been complaining about for the last year right then.
Just speculation of course.
Nice hit :)
Perfection!
Their vote in an election is worth just as much as mine and that bums me out.
When Wisdom and Dexterity are your dump stats.
"Not my video" it says.
Not my circus — not my monkeys.
Let’s face it ya just can’t fix STUPID. I mean what the heck did they thick was gonna happen.
The tree: "I knight you, sir Woodley of Thorns"
Good thing he was wearing is safety cap
Everyone knows you can stop a tree by putting up your hands at the last second. I don't know why it didn't work in this case.
This is the best shit I have seen in so long. The guy in the background just drinking his beer and not doing shit. God bless these fucking idiots.
If that’s what they were trying to do, their plan worked perfectly.
"I know a guy..... who has a broken clavicle now"
Finish Him
goodness some people have zero foresight. i'm waiting to see the other camera angle.
The Three Stooges in the 21st Century
I’m not looking for an argument, but I don‘t think the guy they felled is a genius.
So predictable, and so satisfying
That was easily foreseeable. Take one step right bro. I expected homeboy in the death zone to get it.
he's dead. shoe came off
I did this once. I think I was 9.
Here! Hold our beer! We got this!😂😂
Hey at least he was wearing a hat!
Twofer. Well done.
Got him
What’s a hard hat?
Good job camera man.
Lucky hat day!
That thing got a Cummins?
This has got to be AI. If not, then we seriously have the best video of this sub.
The jazz hands didn't save him?
I scroll Reddit muted. But for some reason, I heard cartoon sounds. Weird
