Sorry mesterh, wasnt intending to knock the poll, if you found it useful and informative, then it served its purpose, and generated interest.

Numerous stitches both inside and out,020 into chest.

Lost a bit of my pectoral muscle and it also seemed to have stunted the growth of my chest hair.

i gaffed out on a tree take down, while using a ms200, ended up slicing a 5 inch flap of skin from my left under forearm, didnt dare take my hand of it when it happened in case it pissed out of the main veins and blood vessels, managed to self rescue and went to hospital to get stitched up.

im always aware when using my ms200 now, always the remember the sickening feeling of that days events.
