Hard to say what the "feller" was thinking and doing to end up with that kind of result. It looks like it fell 90 degrees from the direction of the cut, which to me looks backwards with the wedge still in place. Whomever certainly did not make any attempt at a typical face cut or back cut. That sure is dangerous. I can recall at least one where I made the face and back cut 180 degrees off, either misreading the tree or what have you, pinching a bar etc. Anyone who fells trees will misjudge or miscalculate on occasion, + the unknowns can change things regardless. I've got a bunch of felling to do this fall/winter and a few are head scratcher's but nothing that cannot be done by taking my time and thinking it out. There are also those you just walk away from, not worth the risk.
