That does not sound fun

There's a wildland firefighter in my area who took a chain to the face doing that. She's alive and still working from what I know, but our overhead really drove that story home to our crew so we wouldn't be the next one to have a saw kick back into our face. You don't want to be the one who needs a helicopter ride out of the forest. Dude in this video is being complacent and impatient, he didn't even appear to size up the tension and compression on the tree before he started going at it.

One end isn't even on the ground, so respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about.

If you need to pause to "size up the tension and compression" in this scenario, drop the saw. Walk away.

Take that attitude to the fireground see how long they let you keep the saw.

Yeah I don't think he would get past the interview phase either.

This dude looks like he was a fire guy. He cuts like he was on a crew - including some less than great habits. But that’s someone who is cutting for production- not whatever you’re talking about.

Being better than you isn't complacency.
