Surviving the Storm Ep. 4: The Physics of Storm Wood (Spring-Poles & Barber-Chairs)
<p>Normal trees cut like trees—storm wood acts like a loaded trap. Dive deep into biomechanics under extreme stress. Master reading tension and compression, preventing dangerous spring-poles and barber-chairs, managing elevated root ball kinetics, wedged widowmakers, and enforcing the Two-Set-of-Eyes Rule.<strong>Keywords:</strong> storm wood physics, tension and compression, spring pole, barber chair prevention, widowmaker, arborist biomechanics, tree rigging, spotter rules</p><p>#TreePhysics #Biomechanics #ChainsawSafety #SpringPole #BarberChair</p><p><br></p>
