Be careful.
I was one of the statistics that put that axe through the top of my foot. Not paying attention to the placement of my feet when I took a second swing through a partially split piece of wood caused me an unnecessary trip to the hospital. It blew through that piece with such speed that it ended up in my right foot before I could say, Oh Sh!t!!! Here's the scoop:
I was splitting cherry on top of a block. The piece that I was trying to split had a knot near the bottom. The first whack cracked it pretty good, you know the kind that just needed a little nudge to break it apart. I had to pull the head back out of the wood and reset it, all the while changing my stance from wide open to right foot front and center. The next whack resulted in a successful split of the wood and my foot. Love that axe, but the handle is just a little too short IMO. My neighbor, who drove me to the hospital, decided to tell me that he wrote the company a month earlier and complained about how dangerously short the handle was (he apparently had almost hit his own foot, too). They pretty much told him thanks for the input, but we don't care.
I guess the real problem too is the fact that it splits wood so well (and fast) that you can get complacent because of the speed in which you are processing wood. So, Brad (and others), just be very careful when swinging the beast.
