REALLY.

Nevermind the other scenerio where idiot tries sawing through the trunk
of a 40' tree and the chainsaw goes insane and cuts a major neck and/or
leg artery and idiot bleeds out before anyone can even dial 9-1...

I had a neighbor that was killed by tree falling on him while cutting
it up. Also had a manager that nearly bled to death when he cut an
artery in his leg. And, then there was the treecutter that fell and
injured his shoulder so bad he became a heroin addict after becoming
addicted to opiate pain killers. I have a chainsaw for minor work
myself but keep safety paramount.

I used to keep a chainsaw around but I heard about too many accidents
from kickback to feel comfortable about using it casually. (Although you
can buy safety gear such as "chaps" made to prevent kickback injuries to
the thighs/legs.) Now it's just easier to get some other poor schmuc...
er... businessman... to do it.

You are not going to believe this, but I swear it was on Discovery
Health. This guy was cutting down a tree with a chainsaw, slipped, and
a branch went UP his YOU-KNOW-WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They took him to
surgery, & a tree limb had perforated his bowels &
everything...........that is a real pain in
butt........................they did not know if he would live or die
from infection that all the dirt, leaves, etc. had brung into his
system. That was about the strangest thing I have ever seen on a health
show.
