The guy who cut it pushed it sideways as it was falling, about 7 seconds into the clip, and it is an amazing feat on its own.

I think it was the push from the sawyer that diverted it.
I thought it looked like two guys pushed it. Quite a shove
it was already past the door portal when at 07 the guy at the door(presumably the tree feller) can be seen to give it a (one can imagine) huge push.
This one could've gone a lot worse.
