Man Narrowly Avoids Tree Trimming Fiasco

“Do it yourself,” in my own personal experience, is a very hit or miss concept. I say this with full knowledge I am what I would call “IKEA handy” at best. Most times it goes well enough, without incident, but there are other times when a man (and I only mean men) get a little out of their depth. It does feel good to accomplish something around the house, but at times, the risk to one’s personal safety definitely outweighs that reward.

A man attempts to trim a tree without any trimmers and no one holding his ladder.

I would assume his goal was to yank the tree branch down by hand, because otherwise I’m not quite sure what he was doing up there. A pair of sheers would’ve made his life a lot easier, as would a person holding the ladder for him (maybe someone who was filming instead might have helped, cough cough).
