Controlled tree landing
Choose a nice tree early
Pick a small, dark colored tree
Aim for the center of the tree
Into wind and some brake applied
Release brake before impact to have canopy shoot over / into tree and get lots of lines into tree. Idea is not to fall out of tree.
Legs in front, arms cover face
Notes:
Tree as small as possible to be low to the ground for a later rescue
The darker the tree the smoother the branches and the easier the branches bend.
Dry trees splinter
