Without knowing any details about the accident and its cause, this is yet another reminder to us all about consistently holding our 200T's with BOTH HANDS, to give the chain brake an opportunity to save us.

 

It really frightens me to see how many climbers use the 200T as a "one handed" chainsaw. I only ever use it one handed in exceptional cases, and only when in a stable stance and with considerable distance to other body parts.

Heavily agree. Ive seen too many people with unnecassary injuries from 200t's. Once you lose respect for the saw its only a matter of time before you open yourself up IMO.
