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.

When the branch starts to give way he realizes his mistake and leaps off the ladder

The big branch hits the ladder directly, knocking it over. 

He looks up at the camera laughing and says: ‘Did you get it?’ to which the woman replies: ‘Oh I got it.’

The video was posted to Jukin Media on Thursday. It is unclear where in the U.S. it was taken. 

Sweet re-leaf: The man looks back at the branch that took the ladder down with it and asks the person recording the video: 'Did you get it?'
