And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Loggers call this the "barber chair," and it's only one of many ways to get killed falling timber. I saw this happen once in my youth, luckily from a short but safe distance away, on an oak tree, and it was spectacular.
Is it caused by the formation of the tree or the cutting technique?
