Found this on Craigs list, I have done a couple bids over the years where the home owner waited till they hurt themselfs before calling a pro.

Yes , so have I. It is something. tell that guy the blatantly re-occuring visions of the accident aren't really ever going to stop.

Years ago when i was working for another tree service the boss and i driving to the job and he was telling me. That the client started the removal himself, and cut his arm, Well the neighbor decided to help out and do it for him. It just so happened that he also cut himself don't remember where. Well we get to the job get to yapping with the client. And come to find out that the neighbor just so happened to be my wife at the time's cousin. I had to bite my lip the whole time, He had no clue who I was so I didn't tell. Just chuckle and go on.

I know a guy who was cutting a tree using the blade of a tractor for pressure. as he cut the tree it barborchared and just about took his left side of his head off...very bad accident he doesn't look the same any more.........The ironic thing of the accident is where he got medavact to they found a brain tumor in his head that would have probably killed him in a couple months they where able to remove it and the accident happened 7 years ago. something how something so horrible can come out so good. hid stupidness saved his life.

I did a job for a guy who did the same. He cut his leg pretty bad with an old saw without a chain brake. I guess it kicked back. I told him he has a good reason to be saw shy.

As painful and embarrasing as the photograph is to show, the possible result would have been much much worse.

The moral of this story is, always have two hands on your ms660.
