Best Answer

The tree could be struck by lightning, which would cause the tree to fall, and maybe even catch fire. It could KILL you.

ANSWER:

Lightning is attracted to the tallest items in the landscape. Therefore, a tree in a field would be more likely to be struck by lightning and you, since you would be leaning against it, would be struck as well.
