Looks like on average, a little over 23000 injuries due to chainsaws per year in the US

In elevator school they teach in a fall you have the first two feet to react after that gravity and speed take over there’s nothing you can do to save yourself. You need to think quick, don’t take chances. I witnessed an elevator mechanic slip and fall. We just hung a rope in the hoistway to haul stuff up from the first floor. Luckily him being a mechanic for many decades he grabbed the rope and locked his legs on it as he started to fall. His new helper was new first day on the job, on the forth floor opening watching him slide by thinking I gotta do that too? He luckily stopped at the knot at the bottom of the rope at the first floor. There was dirt and dust on the steel beams in the building that’s how the mechanic slipped.
I taught everyone clear your minds of all outside thoughts, and think about what work your doing. Blockout all your thoughts. I even taught my sons that too when running chainsaws it’s you and the saw never mind thinking about your hot date tonight, focus on the task at hand.
That actually makes a lot of sense. I can see my inexperienced relatives and friends do the same. Scary ****.The idea of taking my right hand off the rear handle to apply the brake had never occurred to me.
