Felling trees, which is the basis of forestry activities, is dangerous and difficult work that needs to be performed carefully. These activities can affect forest workers’ safety, damage the remaining forest, or reduce the value of the extracted product. Most of the accidents and injuries in forestry operations occur due to the trees not falling in the
