One hand off,,, Brake on!!!!
more than two steps,, " " !!!!!
learned my lesson the hard way busting down tops,,,, Thank God I had my Chaps on,,,,l Will not cut on the ground without them and I do use the brake if moving or setting the saw down while it is running,,, other wise too easy just to apply the brake or kill and restart the saw,,, and yes I was hurrying to get finished,,,,
Getting complacent about the things we do all the time and lax behavior is what gets people hurt,,,
Wish I had taken pix to post of the saw with the strands of chap protective layer material hanging out of the chain and clutch cover,, I supposed I was too embarrassed for any of my Brothers to see my ignorance
as stated before but in my instance,,, " A magically springing limb" slapped saw while I was moving up the top for another cut after parting an adjacent, yet connected limb,,,,I was stepping out of the top, saw idling,,,, my leg hit the other undetected still sprung limb and it released and smacked the saw,,, I guess reflex jazzed the throttle not sure,,, it all happened so quickly,,,,
Here is the end result,,,
