I would think logging would be less dangerous now.
When a was growing up in Maine, loggers cut down trees with the chainsaw and pulled the trees into the wood yard with a tractor like skidder (skidah in Maine-speak).
Now, they are more likely (I think) to use a machine that clips the tree off (like scissors) and takes the branches off.
