The popularity of Minecraft has probably led some children to believe you can swim up waterfalls

Has it also led chidren to believe that if you cut down a tree with an axe it will just hang in the sky instead of falling down?

Dunno about kids, but I've seen my fair share of grown men who appear to think so.

Ladders tend to be more stable if you lean them on the tree trunk, and not the branch you're about to saw off.

I almost thought "kids aren't that dumb", then I remembered that I jumped out of a tree with an umbrella once because I saw it in a cartoon

My brother tried that, but it was the roof and a sofa sized plastic bag.

Woah woah woah. Hey kids reading this - don’t go chasing waterfalls!

Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to!
