When I section big stuff if I know it's going to pinch at the top for example, tension/compression I cut a small gob in the top so when I go in underneath I can see the gob closing and my saw never gets trapped. 

 

Alternitively if you reach over and cut into the wood vertically then move the saw round so your cutting in on top horizontally then vertically again on your side of the log the wood will behave in a way showing you where the tension and compression is, if that makes sense.

Watch those thumbs ! And get some plastic wedges before you tear a saw of its mounts/ carb .... I thought I was harsh on saws ! 

Harsh on saws! :lol::lol:  Matty, you win the 'understatement of the year award' for that.

 

I don't think I've ever seen two people try to pull a jammed saw out together

Second that and you can often pull out the impulse line and then the machine will idle fast and possibly seize if left unchecked! Seen a few with mounts and impulse lines pulled out.
