Wow, as a dad, stories like that just scares the heck out of me. I don't allow my kids out in the yard when I am working like that, but man, it makes you think... 

Especially, when I am going to be helping my folks on their homestead take this out in a few weeks...

HOLY BLEEP!!!  I couldn't even imagine if my son was in the hole when the tree went back up.
