They clearly had a lot of tension on that line to make sure things fell in the correct direction but I just don't quite get how there was still that much energy in it and what gave way as it fell. The tree was almost down, you would think the line would go slack...

OH, I SEE... The line was tied to the vehicle, which was driving in the direction the tree was falling and they drove too far and it snapped.
That's not how you do it, fellas.
