I've only cut down a few trees but I've seen them bounce or fall in odd ways. I was taught to get the hell out of the way of falling trees as a kid because of this. If you cut them for a living there's endless knowledge around how to fell them safely but they are still dangerous. A large evergreen has boughs that are like massive leaf springs when they hit the ground, big trees can twist as they fall, or kick out. It's really dangerous, especially with hand tools like axe and saw.
