Water: snag the gear and flip, face first at 80mph, into the water. Trees: Hit a tree face first at 80. Ever see a car crash into a tree? Tree usually wins.
For reasons stated, it's more like 45mph. That's still not great if it's the trunk of a tree that takes the first impact - but that particular outcome should be avoidable either way.
