How Bad is Bad in Tree Work?

Brandon and I set out on this tree adventure though it was highly hazardous, for starters it was deader than dead struck by lightning twice the owner said, and the two leads were cabled together, we attempted to try and face cut and pull the front cracked lead down but that cable was installed real good, it was pulling the main lead with it which could have been real bad if it broke seeing I had a metal fence right behind the tree so not much of an escape route, I believe if it did give then that cable could have swung the whole lead over me behind the tree so I resorted back to my original plan to cut low and pull both leads at the same time, I performed the back cut enough to where we could use our rope pullers and fell it, it took some cranking but she eventually gave. I Thank God for His divine protection cause I never know what could go wrong.
