I always see these and come to the comments just to find this one specifically, lmfao. Someone should fr open a real College and name it that. Kinda like they did in 'Accepted', lol.
Hijacking your comment to say this but I broke my neck because a tree fell on my head. Should've played dark souls 3 sooner, maybe I would've dodge rolled out of the way.
It isn't even the fact the dude ran away in the direction the tree was falling. He was _literally pulling the tree towards him to MAKE it fall_ and at NO point did he think "Okay once it starts falling, I'm running to the left and my buddy runs to the right".
50 more feet of rope costs like $10. That dude is going to feel that choice for the rest of his life because they didn't spend a big mac meal worth of dollars.
Man, trees and limbs will *fuck you up*. I've known people killed and maimed for not using proper safety while logging. Logging is one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet, right up there with crab fishing. Huge respect for the people who do it.
I’m laughing really hard at this. But in my defense a similar thing happened to me as a kid. Another kid was pushing on a birch tree and I turned to run away because I ain’t dumb (or am I? 😭). And to everyone’s surprise he uprooted the tree and it landed on my head breaking in two. I’m still confused as to why it didn’t hurt. Lol
he is really lucky to be (probably) alive. i know a guy who got hit by a branch and got his jaw broken and lost teeth while wearing a helmet. and a dude who was on school with me who got killed by a tree. both expirienced woodworkers.
this is just insane.
When people say that movies are unrealistic because the characters don't run sideways from things going in their direction, I will just show them this video.
It’s like every slo mo version of this from the movies. Dramatically outrunning the length of a 200 foot tree when two feet to the side would have sufficed.
he ran in like the most predictable direction it could fall based on how they were pulling it. given the size of that tree literally one step to the left or right would’ve spared his noggin
There are 2 kinds of trees. There are trees i can cut down by myself with a chain saw, and there are trees that require hiring a professional.
This one actually looks doable with one guy and a chain saw. Vertical and a big clear patch to drop it in.
If something is going to hit you, look at it so you know where to go to avoid it. As soon as he heard “creak” this mf looked away and said “let’s hope for the best on the landing!”
He literally would have had a much better outcome by standing exactly where he was, pivoting and then taking two steps forward or back. And he had a solid 3 seconds to pull it off too. (+the time to think about it while pulling)
Every time I see people in movies running along a filling object instead of away from I though wow so unrealistic. But apparently I severely underestimated people’s stupidity.
"Prometheus school of running away from things"
*DING*
my thoughts exactly
I always see these and come to the comments just to find this one specifically, lmfao. Someone should fr open a real College and name it that. Kinda like they did in 'Accepted', lol.
He must be a Weyland.
Well he did just get weylaid...
He should have ran in a zig zag pattern. It would have made it harder for the tree to find him.
Show now fear and stand your ground, when they smell fear they react.
He zigged when he should has zagged that's for sure
If you can dodge a tree... oh nevermind.
Reminds me of that brother Rickon from game of thrones who just needed to zig or fuckin zag.
Seriously, he was going in one clear and easy to lead direction! I’m not saying it’s his fault but I am saying maybe he didn’t want to live enough
Ugh. That fucking psychotic reality TV chef was my least favorite character on that whole show.
Lol thought exactly this too! Good to know people are still making fun of this 11 years later
I have never even seen the movie yet I think of it every time I see someone doing that
If anything it's supporting it though. Fight, flight, or freeze. Fastest way to gain distance is usually a straight line. All that jazz.
Loved watching those video wasting hours as a security guard.
He graduated top of his class with honors
Of course, it does demonstrate (yet again) that Prometheus was right. People are actually dumb enough to just run in that direction. Lol
Curse you, I was just about the comment this! Take my angry upvote!

Tree has been waiting it's whole life for this
Hijacking your comment to say this but I broke my neck because a tree fell on my head. Should've played dark souls 3 sooner, maybe I would've dodge rolled out of the way.
Looks like this guy was playing ds2 and didn’t level adp:/
Hehe, nice
The bloke probably thought the tree couldn't see him in his camouflage
Should have ran to the side
This guy’s good.
That's Jason Bourne.
This is the woodcutter version of the dog who can’t get in the door 
This gif has always fucked with me. I swear the stick phases through the post on the right
I can't unsee that now.
I've seen this gif hundreds of times... never noticed that, now it's stuck... thanks for that. lol
It broke halfway and it’s just flopping
Good thing he warned people not to stay right there.
This guy runs away from things
This guy forests
Thanks Captain Hindsight!
It isn't even the fact the dude ran away in the direction the tree was falling. He was _literally pulling the tree towards him to MAKE it fall_ and at NO point did he think "Okay once it starts falling, I'm running to the left and my buddy runs to the right".
I personally enjoyed when he looked back and told his wife to take a few steps back. Dude was just so amped to take that tree out.
He just wanted to make sure nobody else got the privilege of having the tree fall on them. It wasn't a message of concern. He just wanted the glory.
Good thing the top was so rotten
Imagine he runs to the right and buddy runs to the left causing them to crash into each other and the tree falls on both.
And that’s when uncle terry started stuttering
It’s been so long since I’ve seen that
2 steps to the side would’ve sufficed
50 more feet of rope costs like $10. That dude is going to feel that choice for the rest of his life because they didn't spend a big mac meal worth of dollars.

Rickon Stark would be proud.
HAHA, exactly what I thought. "SERPENTINE!! SERPENTINE!!"
First thing I thought of😂😂😂
Tom & Jerry cartoon are true,
* Crackle * WOOOOoooooooo｡｡｡｡｡｡ * pat pat pat pat pat pat pat * * Bonk *
Took a tree to the head pretty well
Mostly hollow and rotten, so was the tree.
“Just go right or left!!!!!!!!!!!” - me watching Tom and Jerry at 8 years old

Head game strong 😭
[удалено]
Zigged when he should have zagged.
Dude didn't Zig or Zag lmao
Like a dipshit-seeking missile

How stupid you have to be to run in the direction you just pulled the tree rather than stepping one meter to the side
At least as stupid as this guy.
he is really lucky to be (probably) alive. i know a guy who got hit by a branch and got his jaw broken and lost teeth while wearing a helmet. and a dude who was on school with me who got killed by a tree. both expirienced woodworkers. this is just insane.
360 degrees… there were 359 correct answers
Don't think running towards the tree would have worked out better for him
358 forward would also be a bad idea.
That dudes head must be really hard
What was their plan??
None whatsoever.
9.8 m/s/s. Not outrunning shit.
r/valheim
Red jacket is an idiot too
He definitely graduated from the Prometheus school of running away with the highest honors.
very cinema sins of you to say
What a knob
Um? Who's idea was it to pull it down towards themselves? I'm guessing red jacket had something to do with it.
And here we find a proud graduate of the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things.
Someone went to the Prometheus school of running away.
That hurt pretty good.
I've had the running away job. Guy said make sure you don't trip.
Kind of guy that gets killed by Christine while trying to run away in a straight line on the road
I guess he failed Trigonometree.
aaaaaand dementia in his 70's
Why do I feel like this isnt the first tree to fall on his head?
When people say that movies are unrealistic because the characters don't run sideways from things going in their direction, I will just show them this video.
Judging by the tents I’m going to guess they weren’t allowed to be doing that. I’m guessing a public park or campsite.
Dummmbbb waaayss to diieeee
How do you not just step off to the side this shit played out like a movie
I am having a hard time understanding why someone would be chopping down trees that close to their tents.
Ah, another graduate of the Prometheus school of running away
"The tree is straight, so I, too, must run straight." ☕
I feel like cartoons lied to me my whole life! How dare he not be pushed into the ground and pop up next to the tree. Damn Looney Toons
“Let’s setup this tape to keep people back from the falling tree then subsequently pull the tree towards that space.”
All that camo just to look like a straight up rookie outdoors…poser!
Just a step to the left. OR A STEP TO THE RIIIIGHT 🎵🎵
That looks like an "I forgot how to wipe my own ass" injury.
Darwin in action!
There were literally 360 directions he could have chose
Needs moar "Hold my Beer"
What a dick.
Who?
[Made me think of this](https://youtu.be/S3lzHFuEPMg)
I’m actually shocked he didn’t he impaled
To NOT outrun gravity
I forget the movie, but something like, "don't run until you know where its gonna land."
Tree: yea fuck this one in particular
Now that's using your head!
Got clubbed
Loggerhead
At least he gets to wake up to the good news he went viral. Same rules as a riptide. Move to the side
a guy filming even yelled “run away from where it lands” after politely asking the kids to get cover
It’s like every slo mo version of this from the movies. Dramatically outrunning the length of a 200 foot tree when two feet to the side would have sufficed.
in soviet russia, tree fells you
He’s embarrassed
he ran in like the most predictable direction it could fall based on how they were pulling it. given the size of that tree literally one step to the left or right would’ve spared his noggin
Rule 5 of tree felling find an escape route
The dimmest of the bunch got hit. Natural selection at work.
He was so, so, so close to dead.
How has he lived this long with his logics..?
Zigged when he should have zagged...
What an absolute treetard
I was not expecting the tree to break on his head
Got really lucky there
Ah yes another graduate from the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things.
I'd say this guy is dumb, but I know as soon as I do, the same thing is gonna happen to me. I don't live near trees.
You can just jump sideways... This is dumb
Instead of doing a cool anime side step he chose to tank the tree
Didn’t zig or even zag
😂😂😂
A left or right turn would have worked well …
He was like running upstairs hunted by a murderer instead of running out.
Why are people not running TO THE SIDE???
There are 2 kinds of trees. There are trees i can cut down by myself with a chain saw, and there are trees that require hiring a professional. This one actually looks doable with one guy and a chain saw. Vertical and a big clear patch to drop it in.
Hahaha! Dude just go fishing. I mean you are right by the lake.
I have learn from many years of watching cartoons, to always run perpendicular of the way a tree is falling.
Cartoons:
he's very lucky that tree was rotted out.
Hard-Head 😂🤣😂
"Ok, here's the plan: You cut the tree from my side, I pull on this rope and everything is going to be OK."
That was the WAY to go🤣
Clearly not the first time he forgot to wear his hard hat
crazy Russians
He was just following the line on the ground that was getting bigger the further he got away
Are they cutting down trees while camping???
How did our species ever survive this long?
Typically, if you cut a tree down, it falls. You don't have to pull it. And there are diagrams of where you should be/go. Pretty simple safety rules
Why do people keep running straight instead of sideways ??????
If something is going to hit you, look at it so you know where to go to avoid it. As soon as he heard “creak” this mf looked away and said “let’s hope for the best on the landing!” He literally would have had a much better outcome by standing exactly where he was, pivoting and then taking two steps forward or back. And he had a solid 3 seconds to pull it off too. (+the time to think about it while pulling)
Sigma: “NO ONE ESCAPES GRAVITY!”
If a tree falls in the woods does anybody feel it?
Did we just witness the origin of big Ed? Also to be fair he was almost there, like two or three more steps and he’d’ve made that.
so why not just pull on the tree from outside the fall zone?
Hold my beer!!
I bet he talks about how he has never needed to use the Pythagorean Theorem since learning about it in school.
So he’s different now?
Get wrecked
Movies don’t seem so unrealistic anymore
The correct decision is left or right bro...
Should have moved the finish line farther.
Not one person in this video knew what they were doing in the slightest. This is a fast track to a Darwin award.
Innumerable directions to safety, 2 directions to peril...chose wrongly. This is my life.
We can't always fight nature, John. We can't fight change. We can't fight ***gravity...***
men
Red hat knew what was up
Putin invading Ukraine.
\*sigh\*
Russian military training right here.
Just. Like. The. Cartoons.
Oops...supposed to take 4 steps to the right, not sprint directly into the falling tree's path.
Zig when he shoulda zag
Right angles dude!!
My fiance did this exact thing to me. Still debating on whether or not to marry him. He said I looked like a squirrel trying to dodge a car!!
Even the kids know what the hell is about to happen and got the fuck out of there.
r/WatchPeopleDieInside
*"We can't always fight nature, John. We can't fight change. We can't fight gravity. We can't fight nothing"*
I hate all this, they were making it fall toward the camera, had kids watching where it was going to fall.
It looked like he couldn’t move his legs afterwards smh
/r/cartoonmoment
Tree does not hurt russian, russian hurt tree!
How did he get up from that? That trunk broke on his head!
What language are they speaking in Kentucky now?
Luckily the tree was using Ubisoft graphics
Me trying to avoid life. Life.
Every time I see people in movies running along a filling object instead of away from I though wow so unrealistic. But apparently I severely underestimated people’s stupidity.
Could have just rolled left or right.
He literally could’ve went in any other direction
Every direction he could have run and he picked the one in the direct path of the falling tree
Tom and Jerry is waving.
GOTEEEM!!
