That will take care of your junk in a hurry!

Of course, he may actually have the chain brake set... or maybe not... Murphy's Law always applies!
 
Why do guys cringe but then laugh hysterically when another guy gets hurt? I do it all the time.
Had a friend perform the most spectacular endo on his KTM. Destroyed his shoulder and bent everything up on the front end.
I was laughing so hard when I found him rolling around on the ground that I almost dropped my bike.
What's that about?!?
 
Doesn't he realize that you use a stump grinder for that, not a chainsaw....sheeesh:rolleyes:

Well, after thinking about this guy's method for starting saws for the past few days, I think there might just be a benefit to his technique of pre-warming the bar that way! Or as they say in the EU, the blade. A nicely warmed B&C would likely be less of a shock slicing through the most tender of tissue, compared to cold steel ;)

Also there is obviously a need for a new product in the wood processing industry: kevlar jock chaps! I can see it now, using the OP photo to get funding for my jock chaps company on the TV show, Shark Tank.

As seen on T.V.
Kevlar undies by Ron Popeal. Just in time for Christmas. Start it and forget it.
 
Hey , as long as the chain brake is set..................
 
The stupid shall be punished. Hopefully this idiot removed himself from the gene pool.
 
I am guessing this led to a divorce and new line of work in a wheelchair. :rolleyes:
