I used to have a small, light chain saw. The chain had a habit of

to go on using it, so I threw it away.

That isn't really an issue with modern saws. They all have chain
catchers - and they work, no excitement any more when the chain comes
off. It rarely happens anyway if the chain is correctly tensioned.
Still worth keeping all parts of yourself clear of the back of the saw
while using it.
