Ever heard the story of "do not attempt to stop the chain with your
hands" from a chainsaw manufacturer?
It might be an urban legend though...
Urban legend or not, it says something similar in the Chainsaw Safety
Manual from Stihl.
To reduce the risk of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away from the cutting
tool. Never touch a moving cutting tool
with your hand or any other part of your
body.
You'd think that would be obvious, but there's a lot of really clueless
people out there buy chainsaws.
An interesting "statistic" I ran across one time is the majority of
fatalities in NC & SC attributed to Hurricane Hugo [1989] occurred
during the cleanup afterwards; chainsaw injuries & chainsaw related
injuries - climbed up in a tree with a chainsaw - fell and broke their
neck, etc.
