Does this tree pose a threat?

Question

Hello,

There is a white fir located on a slope on our property. We purchased the property three years ago and have not cut any roots. I am unsure if the root in the middle even belongs to the fir, but the root on the right appears to have been cut years ago (it has some new growth sprouting from it).

Since I’m not an expert, I would like to know if this fir poses any risk of falling. It appears healthy and straight to me.

Here are some photos I took:

Its just an option if he wants to keep it, looks are not everything. Tree may be providing a habitat for birds etc.. New leaders can be managed and not yoo bad on comifers.

 

There are a vast number of topped domestic conifers and they make up a good part of our work to retop and manage them.
