could always use an old Indian fire pump full of paint... Five gallons of watered down pink latex in a squirt gun fight, 50' of good thick stream, should lead to few black eyes...

Misjudged the balance of a 25'' pine. I'm not talking anything about the wind here. It went sideways. A suburban logging case. Fallout was a bent street light... Lucky thing there was nobody going down the street. That, and the fact I was high stumping. Butt held on the stump, saved my 460 intact.
Street light was the first thing I've broken in years. Well, now I know I was becoming cocky, I guess that was a sobering thing.

Geez that sucks, my wife and I live quite a ways from our jobs and when ya figure in the kids sporting events and such our fuel bill is higher per month than our house and truck pmt combined.
Confident-cocky-Dead usually goes in that order. Hit a power pole once, partner said we should put a line it for safety, I thought knaw I can wedge it, Misjudged how tall it was and gunned it a little to far left, I got lucky there was no damage...

Thrown chain thread
Is a thrown chain really a thread worthy event or is it a normal routine inconveinence. The fire wood guys have a dramatic stay safe thread. Even when I was young and new at cutting it wasnt a heart stopping event. I think I was young once or was I ?? WEll any way my little whine for the moment other than Im tired of needing to take a leak since my little boulder was smashed up

The only way a thrown chain is a major event is when you're having to file the burrs off of the drive links late at night when you should be in the house doing something more fun.
I'm not commenting on your other observations and questions.
When I was thinning, I finally found a saw that would start and run all day. The only thing was that it would run best with a loose chain and I threw a chain about 3 times a day. There was no damage to the chain, and I could slap it back on fast. For me, it was normal. No drama, maybe an utterance of the short version of excrement.

Afew years ago had a chain thrown off my 42" as i pulled out of a cut, it got me on the inner leg but no cuts, Im still whining about it, but I whine alot anyways
helping a friend get some firewood Sunday, he's got a poolan that he bought new. So I show him how to sharpen the chain and a crash course on filing rakers, fallowed by a crash course in small tree falling, fuq'n chain came off that p.o.s. at least three times in maybe 30 minutes of cutting... not impressed don't think he was either

Hmm, thrown chain's huh?
I threw a chain off a 36" bar on a 2100xp one time. Split the low hanging crotch right out of the overall's I was wearing that day.
I dicided to go home early because of the extra ventilation. Wouldn't ya know it, the saw boss, and the cat boss were in the middle of the road shooting the bull. I declined the invitation to get out, and sat in the truck with my MacT in my lap for the next 20 minutes.
For me, that's about as close to a thread worthy event that throwing a chain has ever been.

somebody told me once that a thrown chain could take yer leg off... I think the same guy said he would burn 5 gallons of saw gas every day... I don't listen to much of what he says...

Throwing chains isnt fun, but it happens. Not really thread worthy if you ask me. I have seen them wipe out side covers and even a few fuel tanks. They also play hell on roller chain catches. Mind you, this is experience working with a brushing crew for 6 years. Folks dont seem to understand, even a bar has a life span. When you can rock a chain 45 degrees to the left and right when the chain is sitting in the bar rail. Its a little clapped out.
Which to believe?
One forecast calls for frost, the other 40 degree temps. I'm thinking no frost because we are pretty smoked in here--cough cough.
I've got a tomato vine that has actually grown and ripened non-cherry tomatoes. They are now in the ten cent each cost. More are on it and are ripening.
Cough cough...

Yep! Brushing is the $h!ts on saws and OP's, stuff gets broke in a hurry.
