seen it
Not, a pretty site. One of the guys I used to give firewood to. Small homeowner saw, 14" bar, touched the tip in and the saw kickedback and went through his chin, up through the lower jaw and took out a couple teeth from the upper jaw also. He still cuts and burns firewood. You'd have thought he was going to die from all the blood he lost. The Hospital sewed him up and a pinned his jaw. A few months later he got false teeth made and was back to work. Didn't have inertia brakes on saws back then and a lot of old saws are out there without them today.
More recently, didn't see it, a year or so back, a guy with years of experience, trimming up in the tree the saw kicked back and caught him in the neck. Dead instantly, full throttle, he didn't have a chance to duck. They both had hardhats on, an inertia brake would have made a difference but the injuries would still have been severe.
The veiw from another site, someone should tell him he needs to move that wood off the concrete and into the lawn to cut it up. Way easier on the chain once he starts trenching with that cut angle.
