Frequently, these trees have been uprooted or severely fractured by high winds. Lightning damage, flooding and soil erosion are sometimes factors as well.
It is important to remember, that trees in this condition can be extremely dangerous, and sometimes unpredictable in their reaction to sudden releases of pressure. i.e. (saw cuts in the wrong place or at the wrong time). Some people make the mistake of thinking that trees which are blown over on their side are safer to deal with.
While accessibility may sometimes be improved, nothing could be further from the truth. Extracting trees in this condition presents a whole different set of dynamics i.e (pressure points, limbs under extreme tension and potential for sudden weight shifting) etc, that generally would otherwise not exist in the extraction of free standing trees.
