I'd probably have scarfed the underside of the log "as close" to the root ball as possible, then when you come in from the top it should break away as if you were felling it from a stand position. The stump would pivot off and roll down hill. You need to try and avoid cutting a tree at a pressure point such as through the middle. There's even amounts of weight pulling down on the cut you were making, so when it went, all the pressure was released simultaneously and fast. Obviously you worked this out after making the cut though. Easy thing to happen, and like you said you were probably a little relaxed about it and didn't stop to think about how the tree was sitting first.

    I suppose also its a bit different when you've spent a fair share of time on a saw. Reading what trees will do becomes second nature, but there are always exceptions, hence why they're so dangerous. When I was falling rimu for a heli-logging crew we had trees end up in positions where they could easily kill you if you f&*ked up things at your end multiple times a day.
    You in the wrong thread bro?
