This is the heart-stopping moment a logger was forced to run for his life when the tree he was cutting started to split vertically.
The footage begins by showing the man at the side of the white fir in a forest, with the chainsaw already lodged in the bark.
He begins to chip away at the tree, disappearing around the back, before re-appearing in front of the camera.
He continues putting the chainsaw into different sections of the trunk, looking upward to watch out for any swaying movements.
But still he carries on, circling the saw around to the front of the tree.
