Chainsaw accident you need to see on Renovation Realities

[gzecc]

I "THINK" I saw the video you are referring to. The people look familiar and the guy was cutting shrubbery or something and there was net-wire fencing behind the brush, that was visible. The chainsaw kicked back off the wire--I guess--and nicked his shoulder. The young lady patched him up.
If this is the one, I called my wife into the room and run the controller back for her to see.
Don't see how it could have been "staged" !!

Thats it.

How "Kete" did not end up dead is a mystery as is how he's gotten this far in life. It's one thing to be ignorant but another to not have enough sense to learn a few basics.

Precisely.And to laugh about it afterwards & think its "f*^%$# awesome" shows how ignorant some people really are.
Best things he could do is 1.Put that saw down before he kills himself or someone else.2.Sell it & use the money to hire a real pro who knows what they're doing.

Thistle,

Thanks for the video on Kete's fail. Everything said "barberchair" so he cut's a heavy leaner without a face, "chairs" the tree, hangs it and then does it again. Amazing the third tree didn't do God's work of throwing a little bleach in the gene pool.

And NOT like this guy............

I didn't know the guy was videoing me that day.

After seeing Kete in action I am reminded of the famous quote by Dean Wormer; "Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son".

I think the video of Kete is staged. Yeah, no doubt it was staged,,,,,,,










Because NO ONE can be THAT clueless!!

I know there's a lot of guys here with plenty of experience and training using chainsaws (me not being one of them). Anyone want to recommend a good resource for some basics? I've looked at videos from the manufacturers but since I don't get much "seat" time I'm always looking for more/better info.

From a city boy's POV.... the fella in the first video obviously didn't think. If you're gonna use ANY tool (chainsaw, electrical appliance, wood stove, handgun, etc. etc) the first question is, "How might I hurt myself or someone else?" 5 seconds' consideration of that question trumps all the training in the world.

What goes on in some people's mind?
Speaking of safety - wife gave me chaps and safety helmet for Christmas.

If you've got 45 minutes to kill, this is the best instructional chainsaw video I've seen:
