Have had chunks of embedded metal thrown back towards my feet. Also struck a pile of old cats eye blocks that the council had kindly dumped on the verge where I was grinding out roadside stumps. It was the first outing for my Toro 38 and I broke one mount and three grinder teeth..........gutted!

Hey thats Jims sexy leg. If memory serves me, Jim was using a backpack blower and wearing a set of clogger chainsaw trousers, this brother was operating pedestrian stump grinder. The brother pulled the grinder out of the hole and rested it on his handlebar with the cutting wheel spinning at calf height.

 Jim walked backwards into it. it took his chainsaw trousers clean off and broke both his fibia and tibia. It was a long road to recovery for him.
