      People sometimes dies from the trunk falling back down. This can happen if the decomposition of the tree has come far enough or the forces eventually make the tree snap.

        I searched but only found references to treeworkers getting hit when cutting the stem with a chainsaw.
        Natural decomposition caused fatalities may be possible, but seem very unlikely compared to other risks…

          No, I mean I might have ADHD, and I do sometimes fixate on very specific things. But this time I was just out in the woods and thought hey that Tree throw might be meme material.
