That is truly a sad accident and my heart goes out to the man.....but if your wife ever finds out you called her a "cow" you may have an accident too.
Does she know you call her a cow?
at first blush... you'd think.. No Way! Accident ya right...
but after being around our boy scout troop on clearing projects. where 4-5 adults brought their own chainsaw.... the casualness of using chainsaws next to each other including scouts was un-freaking believable!
they'd have a boy scout hold the wood being cut. then swing their chainsaws running with adults and scouts moving within 2-3 feet. well within arm's length reach.
Personal protection equipment... forget about it... no one remotely understood the life changing damage a chainsaw can inflict.
no chaps... no helmets, no eye protection, etc.... except me of course. I'm wearing full gear anytime I'm cutting. also when came anywhere close to me, I'd shut down. hollering at everyone to stay away was next to useless.
telling 13-14 year old scouts to stay away and expecting them to mind perfectly is not happening. especially when I was having trouble getting the adults to stay away from me when my saw was running.

Yep, I like the post about treating a saw as you would a gun.
That also goes for the person(s) who are around and NOT using the saw. They should all act as if the saw person is holding a rifle with his finger on the trigger.
