i fought the saw, and the saw won!

[Rockmonkey]

Chainsaw's bite hard!, and make it personal!

Thank's to Kepis quick thinking, i live to tell the tale!

Nice

Not a life threatener, but nasty none the less.

Go on then... what happened? Broken chain?

 

[Rockmonkey]

I though that i was a fairly over the top health and safety tree surgeon!
Had dismantled a dead tree, and was just taking it down to a stump, took my hand off the chainsaw to stop the stump landing in a pond (automatic reaction) chainsaw still going, changed my mind, but too late, it met with the chainsaw!
Oop's, I know better than that.
Glad i was wearing my watch, which i never wear!, it saved my hand!
I always learn the hard way!

You look good in Red Rocky mate, want some Orange rip stop nylon to go with it, AKA a sling.

Ironic that the palm of your hand appears to have a smiley face now. Once bitten twice shy!? Hope your sorted soon.

The hard lessons always carry the best teachings

Unlucky thing to happen, just shows that accidents happen even to those with respect for the dangers.

That's a beauty.

Hope it heals fast for you.

Oww man... sounds like a close call...

Speedy recovery to you!

SHMBO has told me NOT to buy a chainsaw or use one after seeing that photo, Get well soon mate as we still need you as camp tea boy, with honours.

 

[Kepis]

I think my hand was just glad to at the end of my arm still!!

Not as much as i was when i saw it happen:yikes:, have to admit i thought the worst initially, as you would of course when chainsaw meets flesh & blood.

Was good to see you back up the lakes this afternoon after your trip to A&E, just take it easy and get healed up.

 

[Rockmonkey]

thanks for the kind word's everyone!
I will be back to work in no time!
smiley face has been washed away now!:sadwavey:
I must admit, my first thought was for a change of underwear!:yikes:

[Cyclingrelf]

Go on...full story - what did Kepis do?

I'm so impressed you still have your hand. You're a very lucky man!

 

[abominable_scouse_monster]

Glad your OK, you had a really close call that could have been a lot worse.

And this also add's to my list of reasons just why I am never going to own or use a chain saw.

 

[dwardo]

Gawd thats a guudun, good job!
Is there a lesson here? Know its a freak accident but there must be away to avoid this type of accident.
