Miller , Miller , Miller , Peter .It is funny at work the other day I was talking to one of my colleagues about getting old & becoming sensible & he talked about selling the motor bike at 30 then selling the chainsaw at 40 not sure what happens at 50 & 60 .A good buddy a few months ago had a chain saw accident, cut through to his thigh bone , mind you he was standing on his Landcruiser's roof when it happened . Ollie drinks XXXX so it is not surprising(a south Aussie drinking Queensland beer )

He was standing on his Landcruisers roof trimming a large branch on his property(a small farm) not sure how the chainsaw bit him but he was BLOODY lucky it did not cause bone damage or cut a major blood vessel he did need a big operation , he was really sore & has only just now stopped limping. The scaring looks like a big shark bite .Chainsaws do prefer to cut flesh over wood , its so soft

I rate chainsaws as probably the most dangerous tool available to the general public (with rotary electric saws second most dangerous). Saws designed to cut through wood quickly can make short work of flesh and bone
