What could/should they have done differently?

Just saw this and wondered what folks think. Pretty scary. (Part of me wonders if it's even legit.)

Super scary! What to do differently would be to retreat in a 45 degree angle from the falling tree so you are outside of the plane of where the tree is falling. There's always this kind of risk but it seems like it would be less if you were outside of the plane.

I'd also say that there were too many people congested together and nowhere for them to go.

It looks like they were pulling the rope that was on the ground, we do indirect pulls so chit like that won't happen.

Stuff can break and get shot out in any direction.

If my wife saw that she would never let me cut wood alone again, which is not really a great idea anyway lol

I wander if they were injured? Hopefully not.

Probably a broken arm.

That would be better than anything in the face I guess.
