Funny Halacha

I couldnt help but laugh when I read the following Halacha:

Kotzair (detaching living thing from its source) is a melacha on Shabbat. Removing bark or branches from a tree falls in this category.

If one climbs a tree on shabbos the Rabbinic punishment is that they must stay up there lol. Now thats funny :) -- I presume its also a safe guard from performing further acts of kotzair (ie: climbing down and ripping leaves/branches/bark), BUT if you didnt know this halacha (of Kotzair - ie: tree climbing is bad) then you are allowed to climb down - of course.


Side note: If you climb up before shabbos you should climb down before sunset, but may still climb down even on shabbos.

Obviously if for any reason you NEED to get down, for food, health/life, serious monetary needs then you dont have to spend the rest of shabbos up there (this is like any Melacha on shabbos).
