Aggressive trunk notching...

Hi all,

I've seen this video making the rounds on a couple bonsai groups on facebook and was just wondering what others on here thought of it...

i know trunk notching can be pretty useful at times, but is doing that many at once a valid method for getting movement in difficult trunks or a recipe for dead trees?

Damn I'd be keen to see if that tree survives.
