Been there and done something even dumber years ago. I was up the ladder 
and standing on a branch of the tree. I was smart enough to not carry 
the running

saw up the ladder but then of course I had to start it once I was up 
there. I guess the branch was not as strong as it looked because it 
snapped under me as I pulled the recoil start

and sent me and the (still not running) chain saw falling to the ground. 
I don't think it was more than ten feet and some of the protruding 
branches might have slowed my fall.

I survived with some badly bruised ribs and a bent bar on the chain saw. 
Even typing these words I can't believe I was ever that foolish and 
lived to tell the tale.

Ralph in Sask.
