How not to film a tree being chopped down

I worry about my Dad when he goes in the woods to chop down trees, espcially big ones. Today I was checking my maple sap (its all tapped out for this year I suppose), while Dad was in the same vicinity chopping down a really big dead tree. I decided I had better stick around in case there was a glitch and he would need to be extracted from under the tree if he didn't get out of the way quickly enough. In fact, I went back to my car to get my cell phone, just in case. Of course I had my camera.

I've watched Dad cut down several trees and 99 percent of the time he can accurately predict where it will land. So much for accuracy. As it turned out I needed to be more worried about myself than my Dad.
