I shudder to think how Mom and I could have both died young because we
used a two-person crossbut to take down a number of large (>2-foot
diameter) trees that could have shifted and killed us. It wasn't an
impressive tool -- just a saw with handles on both ends.

Of course, it's amazing that way more of us weren't killed in the
years before the Age of Safety.
