    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?

      Probably only in the same way cartoons made kids belief that gravity only takes affect when one looks to the audience. Most often, most kids won’t transfer any of that to reality but we all had that one kid at our school who was reaaaaaally close to do the Naruto run.

        Close, yes, but not quite there. I was that kid at our school.

      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.
