  2. When you're too dumb to run sideways. Or to just stand outside the danger zone in the first place.

    1. Why read any one of 5000 How-To instructions telling you to run perpendicular to a falling tree, when you can just get bitch-slapped by the tree for being stupid?

  3. That's what happens when you keep pissing on the same side of the tree, kill the root, lose stability.

  4. That's a natural, and stupid reaction. I can't tell you how many times I saw that in tree service. I was CONSTANTLY telling people to move back FARTHER! My regular guys had tree physics down pat. As an urban/suburban arborist, I was hyper vigilant about home owner (ho moaner) and neighbor, Darinian idiots. Watching a coordinated tree crew IS fascinating.
