. In the UK, those electric saws are subject to safety regulations.
They're designed to only operate while the operator continuously
depresses a little lever. As soon as he dropped it, the power would
have cut off, the chain brake comes on , it would stop running right
away.

So it's a bit hard to understand why a dropped saw was still sawing
when
it reached his wife's neck and decapitated her.

This is America, where playing golf with the right legislators gives
companies the right (sometimes called "god-given") to design and sell
obscenely unsafe products. It's a system, and we like it that way. :-)

Mmm. However, the accident being discussed was reported to have
happened in the UK.

So? Don't MPs sleep with corporate hogs in the UK, too?
