When you think of the possibilities when it comes to virtual reality, they are truly limitless.

You can experience what it’s like to soar through the skies. You can find out what it’s like to jump off a tall ledge without actually having to do it. You can swim ino the murky depths of the ocean below or float in the space above.

Or, we suppose, you could find out what it’s like to chop wood.

A Swedish power tool company has created a VR chainsaw competition practice simulator, which is a very fancy way to say a virtual reality simulation where you experience what it’s like to use a chainsaw to cut the limbs off of a tree.

Now we suppose there is merit in such a thing. If someone were an actual chainsaw competitor, which is a real thing (just ask Mel Lentz), perhaps they could use this to practice when it rains or figure out how to fine tune their technique.

But that’s not how the product is being sold. Just look at the video promoting Limberjack. 

Just to be clear, Limberjack is not a play on words meant to infer that you’ll get some exercise out of pretending to be a lumberjack. It’s an actual thing.

Known as ‘limbing’, the sport of removing branches from a felled tree with a chainsaw is exciting but dangerous. Welcome to Limberjack — the exciting first VR game from Husqvarna, where you can pursue your dream of becoming the greatest limber alive.

And if there’s anything we can tell from the people in this video, it’s that their dreams are to become the greatest limber alive.
