Right. I cut down one tree and it took 10 with it, I had eaten and it just wiped me out.

Glad to know I'm meant to be taken out in that situation

Its quite a bit of RNG, and i think it counts armor, so at the start they have higher chance of murder.

I think around 40 damage is average falling tree damage, but it could always spike to triple that if it gets accelerated by other collisions. Fast rolling trees also can deal significant damage, but usually they roll slow and its only a few points.

Best way to deal with it is to just look around for a moment when the domino starts...
