Friend took kickback to the face. **WARNING** Pictures not for the faint

A mate of mine got kickback and unfortunately for him, his head was in the way... whipped his visor off and took a big chunk out his nose. 25 stitches.

 

Let us not forget the dangers of these machines, safety first eh.

 

Gory pictures, dont look if you dont like gory stuff!!!

Rushing I think, face over the saw & stihl 361 I believe

Thats nasty. how did the kickback happen? Might seem the wrong thing to say but think it was better it hit his nose rather than his eyes. Hope it heals OK.

[Johny Walker]

[Harrison2604]

Yeah, I think he just got overconfident with it, disregarding safety, rushing and cutting corners. Not sure overconfident is the right word I'm looking for but I'm sure you know what I mean
