We used to call widowmakers the branches that came in right about neck level. riding in the woods, under the canopy, sometimes you don't see them until its too late ![Yikes :yikes:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/yikes.gif)
Partially downed trees that are laying against other trees with the oportunity to fall are also refered to as widowmakers, neck level branches or partially broken branches that hang down in the trail deserve them.
