I once seen a guy get cut in half by a tree, he was using a chainsaw to cut an old twisted dwarf oak which was struck by lightening, he stood there sawing, the oak pops open and knocked his upper body straight off his legs, the torso landed atleast 10 yards away, luckily it was an old man.

reminds me of a joke.
if a tree falls on a deaf person in the middle of the woods does it make a sound?

Wow, I had no idea it could be of that scale. That's brutal. Even that smaller line in the second video.
I had a coworker in software programming who use to be a telephone pole technician. He was working on a pole and it suddenly got ripped off. There was a guy below him, passing up a tool and when he looked up the top of the pole (and my coworker) were gone. Apparently a line attached to the pole was hanging over a road (out of their view and knowledge) and a semi truck went by and the line fell between the truck and trailer.
They found my coworker unconscious with the pole lying on his crushed legs. He was in a coma for 6 months. Says he can't remember anything for 6 months before the incident. Apparently, this is a thing that you lose memory for the same amount of time you were in a coma before the event.
Anyway, he was paid to retrain so he took up programming.
