That is one of the most dangerous jobs, too many ways to get hurt. Those guys have to work fast in a very unstable environment.

This could also happen to anyone just walking through a woods or forest.

More likely when trees and limbs are disturbed by logging and helicopter back wash overhead, so being out there logging, the chances are some bit more.
