Happens occasionally.

Bar and chain don’t care for it, much.

And, often as not, the crotch of the operator takes a soaking.

Not recommended immediately preceding social events.

Had one of those once. A hollow tree can hold lots of water.

Much of the water can be many years old, and usually doesn't smell too good.

The base of the tree looks suspicious, you don't often see a tree growing straight out of the ground with no surface roots showing.

I'd say the tree had a void in the core above the cut and it was holding water.

Note that toward the end of the vid, the flow stops.

The water was coming from the hollow, above, as BW noted.

That water was not water!

It was tears and life blood from the poor tree!

JK....love the sounds of a chainsaw! And old growth falling down!

Disappointed they didn't video the tree falling.

One time I was cutting a limb off a tree that hung out over my neighbor's garden, that my 20" blade barely reached through.

It was a .....Water Oak, seriously that was it's species, Water Oak.

About 4 inches into the limb, water starting pouring out of the limb. There was a hollow portion to the limb, and after a bit it stopped.

In general a tree uses evaporation as a means to draw water up from the ground. The upper branches/leaves evaporate water as they heat up during the day. That evaporation causes a suction to start, like a vacuum to draw water up from below, and on and on the process works till it draws water from the ground.

So it appears that the water recondensed into water in the hollows of the tree during that process.

2 cents.

That is a camel tree.
