My wussy roomate wanted to use my 394 with 36" bar to cut some firewood, and I was showing him how to drop start it in our backyard. So he takes it with one hand on the handle and the other on the pull cord and gives it week jerk. Well, the cord didnt come out but maybe two inches, but managed to pull it into his leg and jabbed his thigh with the dawgs! It scared him so good he dropped the saw and said "I dont think I want to use it anymore." I tried not to laugh, but it was pretty funny.
edit: i just realized that my story made me seem sorta jerky, like I was fooling him or something. well, i showed him how to start it proper on the ground, but he wouldnt have it. he wanted to drop start it.
