My worst injury happened about two years ago. I cut about a 12 inch soft Maple with my husky 346. I stepped back to watch it fall. When I did a stick stabbed me through the pants. I tripped and the saw fell against my leg. I got a seven inch long by two inch wide gash. Thankfully the saw was not at full throttle. It was returning from full throttle when it got me. It was quick too. I went home and taped it up and went back to work. Proof that a saw don't have to be big to rip you up. That gash looked like shredded hamburger.
