I have never experienced a kickback. Closest thing I've been through is the saw wanting to come out of a flushing cut on me but I kept her under control. When a "real" kickback occurs, the kind that like to dig your eye socket out, what kind of force does it exert on you? Is it like a superhuman force that cannot possibly be stopped by man? Or is it low enough that if you keep your front arm stiff, you can kill it in its tracks?
Will a (for example) Stihl orange hard hat face shield protect the face from a kickback? Sure doesnt't look like it, I guess maybe it will retard the bar just enough?
Do reduced-kickback chains reduce the chance of a kickback to the point where it's as rare as finding a pot of gold hidden in the rotted cavity of the tree? I run all depth-limiter (anti-kickback) type chains, wouldn't even consider a pro chain unless I find out they don't work.
What happens when a big mother saw like an 088 Magnum kicks back? That must be a freaking bloodbath unless the saw is so heavy that it can't really come back. (?)
Just wanted to touch base on this topic. Thanks all! Sorry for all these questions guys!
