Pillows, cats, children, whatever floats your boat...

but honestly, old pillows + bungee cord would be pretty good for some safety, i couldn't imagine anyone going to fast enough on a backyard setup to warrant anything else.

Wait. The tree would wear a helmet and 20 beanies?

Because if so, this would obviously be the safest method.

yeah, I mean what kind of trees are they? Will they be missed? could you some how use them once they are down as part of your jib set up?

how close are they to your set up? also, 6" diameter and 30-40ft tall is a crazy skinny tree. Since you don't know how to run a chainsaw ask someone to help.
