I used to live next to an old bloke in the country, who told me he once cut a dead tree down in a rain soaked boggy paddock only to have the entire tree fall off it's stump and bury itself vertically in the mud, which meant he had to cut it down again :grin
True story  ;-*

I've seen that happen but only when using an axe. There is certainly a great deal of skill and a bucket of luck involved. One gust of wind or a hidden defect in the wood and things go pear shaped very quickly.
