my assumption is overhead cutting caused a kickback issue...

If it was a kickback, the chain brake should have prevented that he got severely cut......

Be extra careful when using chainsaws without an inertia activated brake!

Oh that's awful!

Sounds like either he was on a ladder or insufficiently secured, or poor footing...he slipped apparently.
Check, double check, stay safe

Wow. That one is pretty close to home. Hate to hear about stuff like this. RIP.

Awful regretful moment for the poor bloke.

He's not alone, I'm just lucky as done all the wrong things too.

Very hard to cut yourself like that with modern saw safety features, but they are not perfect

Husky Trio brake sort of or trys to prevent that kind of over head saw work. I used one last week, it left me less than impressed but I do see the motivation by Husky when you read story's as this.
