Default trimming back tomato foliage?

The jungle outback is just growing by leaps and bounds - most plants are at least six foot high with all kinds of arms coming out and around. I tied up dozens of branches now I can hardly reach the cages - nearly lost the neighbor's 4 yr old yesterday! I am worrying about the dense foliage not allowing enough light in to ripen fruit and also noticed not much set on the deep inside - so what do you think of pruning out some of the new 'limbs'. Am going to try and post some photos because I am just in total amazement at the growth rate - haven't fertilized. Thanks in advance - piegirl
