If Bradford pear trees are pruned properly take out all the branches that grow out. The don't split and blow over. Had some in Oklahoma and never lost one that split. Besides they grow like weeds and you can cut them back to stump and couple branches on top of the stump and they will come right back. Windy day in Oklahoma is near hurricane wind down here.
