A positive update:
I had already contacted Willie, but a special thank you to @jdog for referring me to him. They originally said I’d need to wait for a new frame until the middle of September, but upon contacting them today a magical front triangle appeared. Willie helped me out and knocked a little off the replacement frame.
Of course I’m still bummed, but it turns out that I don’t need to send them the frame; I just have to hacksaw it at the bottom of the seat tube and above the bottom bracket, so I’ll have a cool ornament to hang up on the wall.
Would this have avoided/reduced the impact?

Iscg05 bash guard. Mounts to the holes around the bb shell.What is it?

In case of vertical impact I don't think the bash guard would prevent the impact from cracking the frame, but if the impact was more in a front to back direction there may have been a chance it would help the frame glide over the log. I am being optimistic and trying to justify the presence of my bash guard...
Pool noodle the down tube.
How do you do those moves if you are say 2-3 times the weight of the guy in the video??
Fat people gotz moves too yo.How do you do those moves if you are say 2-3 times the weight of the guy in the video??
if that was the case, the chainring would have stopped it ??
the bb shell is now aft of the turn up of the downtube.
there should be something to spread the impact of a point blow in that area.
larger than the pad along the bottom.
Unfortunately I'm fat but I don't have any moves...sigh!Fat people gotz moves too yo.

I don't think it would make that much difference. Have you tried it?
