Even little chainsaws are deadly as hell. My uncle told me he knew a big dude that was cutting branches higher than shoulder level one handed with a little chainsaw . It kicked back, cut his jugular, and the dude died right there.

Cripes, ESPN the Ocho used to show "Hot Saw" action. Basically amounted to everyone strapping on a VW Beetle engine. Colostomy Bag fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Sep 12, 2018 |

I will always have an old Readers Digest story in my mind when I handle any chainsaw. Guy was cutting trees in the middle of God drat nowhere and hit some barbed wire or fencing that had grown into the wood and cut essentially one half of his circulatory system in his neck, then proceeded to wrap himself up in his work clothes and walk half naked to the highway to flag down help. I might be a little glib with some dangerous tools but I'll always give the chainsaw a locked elbow and some hefty respect.

Torque from a gas engine goes down as RPM falls, so you can shut it down. Torque from an electric motor goes UP as RPM falls. You can still stop one, but it’s a different math problem, so to speak.

My grandfather fell out of a tree using a chainsaw, broke his leg and died from a PE later. But then there's also being under someone using a chainsaw in a tree: quote:A woman was killed after her husband fell from a ladder as he pruned some garden trees and his chainsaw struck her on the neck. Either way I stay the gently caress away from chainsaws.

Slim Pickens posted:Chainsaw pants are amazing, though. I was cutting up some storm-felled trees with a chainsaw when I was in the State Emergency Service in my early 20s, so maybe '98 or '99. I had full safety gear on, which was lucky, because as I went to cut through a ~8" branch off the side of a gum tree, I found that it was rotten all the way through, and the force I had put on the 'saw was way too much. I ended up smacking myself in the right inner thigh and ballsack with a 25" Stihl chainsaw going top speed. I managed to push my left hand into the chain brake when it was on the rebound. I hosed up the set of chainsaw chaps I was wearing really badly and went down for a little while with the ball pain, chainsaw still running on the ground next to me. I have a healthy respect for chainsaws from before and since this incident and I wouldn't touch one without the proper PPE. I imagine best case scenario without them would have been that I wouldn't have ever had kids, through to medium-case having to sit down to piss, to worst-case mulching my femoral artery and bleeding out in seconds.

But then there's also being under someone using a chainsaw in a tree: That's literally 5 mins from where I live and was wondering why I didn't hear about it since, although technically part of London, the suburbs out here are so boring that ANYTHING hits the news and this seems a bit more news worthy than most the poo poo that hits local rags. Then i realised it was 14 years ago. But drat, poor dude. Killing a spouse / family member by accident must be horrific thing to deal with for the rest of your life. Like how do you go on dating after that: "so, tell me about any past relationships you have had" "I killed my last wife with chainsaw... *finishes drink* ... by accident" " "

That's odd because I also have Readers Digest story about a chainsaw accident that I always remember when handling one. Guys fucks up while chainsawing in the woods and cuts his own neck. Gets back in his truck and drives to the hospital while quote 'holding his head on'. Now I appreciate that human biology means that couldn't have been medically completely accurate, but it still makes me respect the hell out of this things.
