    The tree appeared to be maybe 12 feet/~3.6 meters high. The helmet is about 5 feet/1.5m. A free fall calculator suggests that the top of the tree hit the person at about 14 mph, or 22.5 km/h. Impossible to determine how solid the rotted tree was, but some may agree that this was not the best way to make it fall down.
