I'm pretty sure a lumberjack is smarter than that. Who thinks its a good idea to run in the direction the tree is falling.

In Soviet Russia, tree chops YOU down.

It did have an overly Russian feel to it.

Dude is extremely lucky that tree was obviously dead and rotten. It snapped right when it hit him. If that had been a live green tree, that due would be toast.

Yep.
I'm still not sure he's alright but had that tree not given as much as it did it would've been bad. It was a fricking direct hit.

What an idiot. He could have went left or right, but he chose the one direction that he should not have. Had to be some Vodka involved

Buddy of mine was killed about ten years ago trying to save his dog as the tree was falling .... and he was a man among boys.
Tree crushed him like a bug.

I did tree removal for a couple summers in/after high school. I still say that's the hardest work I've done. I know the guy looks like an idiot, but weird things happen when dealing with trees. I remember one of my first days I tried to stop a rolling 3 foot section of log...it didn't end well for me.

Yep but this wasn't a wierd thing. The tree fell exactly where they wanted as they were the ones pulling it there.
Takes a special kind of stupid not to take one or two steps to the side. And for fricks sake, look at it and determine its path.

I said the dude looked like an idiot. Next time I'll berate him more to satisfy your thirst.
