I think it might also splinter/break the log if it were to fall from such a great height, which could ruin some wood that's intended for milling.
this seems logical, but I think we can try to tie it with long ropes and atleast try to break the fall. It still seems safer than letting large branches fall from sky.
What would you tie it to otherwise? This way they can lower larger chunks by using the top of the trunk as a pulley.
other trees, we will not even try to stop the tree from falling, just break it fall enough that trunk does not crack. My issue with people climbing is that not many can climb at once (in my proposed method, one or 2 will climb to tie stuff, but that is about it) and coming down is very risk as is done in this image, he has to slowly climb down (most likely by being tied to the tree, and slowly dropping/pulling down) - a few strokes of misfortune, and someone falls multiple storeys and there is basically no chance of healthy survival after that
