Aerial Pruning Skills
fuckin gmod contraption lookin ass
I saw this and thought “there’s no way in hell this thing is real” and it turns out it IS real and it’s called an aerial saw. Here is the beginning of the fifth paragraph of the wikipedia article:
So that’s comforting, but here’s the kicker: It was invented in 1983 by a man named Randall Rogers. The wikipedia article for the aerial saw mentions that following his death, the patent was sold to another company who holds it today. It does NOT mention how he died, but thankfully the Chicago Tribune has an archived article with this little nugget:
He was KILLED BY HIS OWN INVENTION. And this company sees this absolutely insane machine, hears that it killed its own inventor, and goes “yeah I’ll buy that”.
