J i'm with you on that..
had some funny comments couple posts up, the point that really caught my attention was if you look closely you can see the spine? if you will it is almost exactly orriented on both halves of the radius no twist at all
it looks to me that the tree was gouged out and the gouge held the post in position as the fall did the bending.
one side of the flange was compressed and the other side was stretched with no twisting.
metalworking a lot of years and i know you would need some expensive equipment to do that, keeping in mind that tree did it in 1 or 2 seconds.al
