In our area we logged some very steep hillsides, one day my cousin had one tree hooked to the dozer and stopped at the top of the hill to hook up another, he did not set the brake thinking if nothing else the tree would act as a brake. While he was working on the second tree the dozer started to roll, I was working below, saw it, and yelled a warning.
