To the OP, I don't think there's any other kind of falling than directional falling, except maybe when clearcutting.
Most trees are already commited to their natural lay either by light, prevailing winds or other circumstances, so you just let them loose knowing these variables. You just can't be looking up enough. Once accomplished you can really slide stems thru other ones, because it saves alot of work and is safer if you have a good eye for square. Anybody can make a mistake, it's just a matter of knowing how to get out of it fast and safe.
