i caught my wrist whilst dipping out the top of a pine in high winds in November , thankfully i missed all of my veins and tendons and with a fair bit of glue and stitches i was ok . it taught me never to be so complacent or willing to work in poor weather under pressure

Worst I have had is catching my leg on the dogs of a 298XP - still got the scar!

 

The wife managed to fall backward in my workshop and sat on the same saw dogs, not sure if she sustained a scar but the language was blue:blushing:

complacency?

 

Mainly yes Rob

 

hows it coming on Dean?

 

More or less healed Steve, those steri strips are amazing

[Steve Bullman]

good to hear!

Top handled saw in a tree using one handed i regret to say, knelt on top of conifer clipped my knee wearing safety trousers so no damage there but saw kicked up and chain went straight through below lower lip.a long time ago and certainly due to inexperience.

 

I'm still gorgeous though!!!!!

Mine was in heavy rain, I was clearing some epicormic growth and a cat jumped out. I was surprised and jammed the saw into my leg on the one day I neglected to wear my chainsaw trousers.
