Took a nasty branch to the face in Portland last Tuesday because I forgot to call out my groundie's position

I was up in a big red oak on a tight residential street and tried to drop a limb without double-checking where he was standing, so it swung back and nearly took me off the tree, and now I always call out the drop zone before every single cut, anyone else gotten careless in tight spots?

Buddy of mine did the same and ended up with a concussion.

It's wild how a simple dumb move snowballs into a whole ordeal.
