Five Easy Steps In Planning To Fall A Tree

 1. Safety Issues

2. Assess Weight and Lean, from the direction you wish the tree to fall, and again from 90 degrees. Understand lean limits, plan accordingly. Mitigate, and change plans when it is not safe.

3. Design Front Cuts.

4. Design Back Cuts and Release.

5. Escape Stump as soon as tree goes into motion. 

Look critically at the stump and butt end of the log in this video. The lower face cut went beyond where it should be, and severed most of the hinge. You must fix this problem before you advance to the back cuts. The tree was basically severed, allowing gravity to take it where the weight was, 90 degrees to the desired direction. This was totally foreseeable, and anyone trained in tree falling should have been able to do this drop safely, or refuse the job. Tree climbers, cranes, and bucket trucks are all available to handle unsafe situations for dropping a tree.
