Give it to me! (grin)
Actually I almost lost my left hand. I been using chainsaw for many years (related to my woodworking projects). I was up on the tree and tried to cut one of the large limb, and once it cut, the limb broke loose and the tree shook violently side by side. I swing my arm under where the blade are to grab the trunk of the tree to control my balance, I wasn't thinking at all about how the blade still moving and that is where the blade hit my arm.
You may see the pix below where you see two light colored slice and require stitches.
I will show that to him! His grandfather was a farmer who managed to cut his throat while cutting back trees with a small chainsaw. He was in his late 80's at the time and actually survived and lived to 96.
