The only time I've seen a bars badly bent, is with inexperienced climbers doing outboard step cuts on the 2nd cut freefalling limbs.

 

Very likely to be left hand cutters sharpened shorter or longer than the r/h ones, or possibly the top right angle corners damaged on the cutters one side if a full chisel chain.

 

You mentioned sharpening issues already - either way buy him a new chain and learn from your mistake. We've all been there mate, these things happen!

It can happen if you a felling a tree and you've got the weighting/lean wrong (goes 3 o clock instead of the 12 you wanted) and catch the tip on the way down. Seen it happen a few times when working in really tangle overgrown areas.

thats a real s**t situation bud, it's too late to say don't borrow kit etc, I'd nip round there say sorry look at the bar to see if it is the bar "witch I doubt" long bars have got flex and if the bars fine tell him you'll get him a new chain and hopefully all will cool,

 

Best of luck

Secondly I would handle it by not borrowing kit

 

 

This!!!!!

 

There is only one thing worse than lending out gear and that is borrowing gear, never, ever, ever, borrow gear.

 

If you really do need it, stick it on the overdraft and if need be sell it on when the jobs been done.
