Yeah. "ripping" the roots out isn't the best idea. This can stop growth in the that root, slow down the root healing process by alot, and sometimes even kill that specific root completely. This is why when we root-prune we try to use some of the sharpest material possible for the quickest healing procise cuts.

I hope this guy makes it.
Good Luck.
