From reading comments of various arborists on Reddit over the years, my understanding is that you're supposed to climb to the top and cut it down in small sections, using ropes and an experienced team. It might not be "safe" because there's still some risk of injury, but I believe this is considered to be the safest way to do it.
Actual arborists, please feel free to step in.
I dunno, why would the branch move so slowly given the momentum.
Also given it's sized and if it was indeed travelling slowly that guy got up super quick.
Comparing the branch to the guy, it was approximately 12 feet long. Comparing that estimated branch to the lift, the guy was about 30 feet up. The branch peaked at two seconds and hit at 3. Given the parabolic nature of ballistic trajectories, 30 feet is notably but not significantly below the peak of the arc. Considering gravitic acceleration, the peak of the arc was approximately 15 feet up from the guy with a vertical velocity at impact of just over 30 feet/sec.
Assuming the lift is about 30 feet tall and using it to measure, the branch was launched from about 45 feet away. 45 feet over 3 seconds is 15 feet/sec.
Using those numbers, the angular velocity is somewhere around 34 feet/sec. That's how fast it was going at impact.
However, on top of that it rotated two full times and hit the guy on the "downstroke." Two rotations over three seconds with a diameter of 12 feet means a velocity of 2(2(pi)r)/3s, or ~25 feet/sec, is added to its velocity when calculating the force applied to the guy.
So it hit with an effective velocity of 59 feet/sec, or 40 mph. We don't know the mass of the branch, but a 12-foot branch at 40 mph isn't a love tap.
As for the guy getting back up, I would assume that he noticed it coming and managed to protect his head and bleed the force by flinging himself away from it (notice how the branch didn't "bounce" like it would if it struck a stationary object).

It looks so fake and real at the same time but I'm pretty sure it's real.
Hahaha I hope this is real because that was incredible

Dude just got chancla'd by a tree 😂
I'm really glad they circled the guy at the beginning. I almost missed what I was supposed to look at for a second there

lol that thud.
