I remember doing something like that when I lived on a vineyard. Redwood fell on the deer fence so we had to get it off the fence so the deer wouldn't eat the grapes.
I got elected to cut the stump off. As it finally came off, the tree decided to roll over, towards me of course.
I tossed the saw out of the way and tried to lunge up the hill out of the way. Managed to knock the wind out of myself. The others helping were on the other side of the tree and couldn't see me. They were frantically calling to see if I was OK but I couldn't answer do to knocking the wind out of myself. I'd managed to get away so no harm, no foul. The saw survived too, big ol' Stihl with a 36" bar on it. Tree was about 6' in diameter so it barely got thru it. That was the last one of those I tackled while up there.
