So he should let the tree fall on him?

I sighted in my 30-06 on the range, and decided to try it at my summer home. I placed a paper plate on an Ash tree with a trunk about as wide as me. I fired one round and hit the center of the target. I was quite pleased. The round went in and out the back of the tree. It left a splintered gaping hole on the exit the size of my fist.

Four months go by and an ice storm coated the trees. That ash snapped clean in two. Every grain of wood in the diameter where I had shot it had fractured and disconnected from each other. That one round had really cut the tree in two. It was almost as big around as a garbage can.

A real man isn't afraid of falling trees.
