I don't do a lot of falling but I have had situations where a tree became hung up and then I debated with myself on how to finish the job. Since I have been coming to this site I have learned much on how to deal with certain situations and safety is always first on the list and the most valuable take away. I never wore chaps in the past...now I do. lots of little things like that that can make the difference in a fluke accident....all learned from coming to AS. I never considered the throw back from limbs but it certainly presents a real hazard that can have serious consequences as described by the OP. I'm not going to criticize here but I do hope that folks continue to post situations, stupid or otherwise so the masses can learn and anticipate something they may have never considered before.
Having a healthy fear of the inherent dangers of chainsaws and tree falling is important for me.....I need to remind myself of this stuff every time I head out to cut firewood.
