I think the police arrest you now for cutting and holding.

 

You go to prison for ages, I've heard.

there's a couple of articles in the winter 2010 AA newsletter mag, concerning one handed chainsaw use. there's a couple of stories about serious accidents as a result of one handed use.

if it is the article that i think you are on about it is about a tree surgeon writing about his experiance of cutting and holding, he was cutting with the saw between his arm and the branch when he slipped and cut into his forearm. He then went on to describe the long process of recovery and how he still hasnt recovered full use of his arm/hand due to nerve damage. may of got the wrong article got shown it by the boss of one of the companies i subbie for, worth a read if you can get hold of a copy
