A hilarious video shows a man doing some yard work without thinking much about consequences. 

He's standing on a ladder using a tree saw with a long handle. 

He doesn't seem to realize that there's a problem with the fact that he's sawing a branch that's directly above him until it's a bit too late. 

As the branch gives way the person taking the video says: 'Watch out!'

He panics and plunges off the ladder and out the way of the falling debris.
