The saw is still in the cut.
I assumed the swaying tree had knocked him out but it does look like he cut some of his fingers off one handing the saw.
Poor guy probably went straight into shock 75 ft.up.

Looks more like his glove is partially off.

Last summer we had to take down 2 trees, opposite sides of our house, and each of them were 110-120’ high. One was a dying hickory (179 years old, I personally counted the rings), and the other was a dying tulip poplar. We had to hire specialists for each. Broke the cable on one truck when it got to 127’ extension. That guy brought in another specialist who used a boom with a grappler and a chainsaw that was remotely operated. Coolest thing ever, but everyone on the ground had to be very careful. Hard hats don’t mean a thing when you’re talking about heavy trees.
