I did today, branch I had my foot on snapped as I started the cut, auto reaction to shove my hand out to stop myself and jabbed the running chain onto my thumb which jammed into the chain catcher.

 

Luckily I had thick rigger gloves on which jammed it because it was coming to a stop and didn't cut through so thumb saved, it would have made a right mess with no glove on
