This young farm hand was lucky not to lose an eye after being cut by a chainsaw that had no chain brake.

Inertia loaded chain brakes are nearly a must for Aerial work.

While cutting down a huge tree for a friend, Jim W. Coleman had a nasty accident with a chainsaw, one which could easily have severed the hand. The wrist bones were completely crushed and it was a long, painful road to recovery. The worse part? Dealing with Farmer's Insurance. While in the emergency room, Jim did have the presence of mind to snap this photo with his cell phone camera.

No documentary was made as to how he exactly got this injury, other than with a chainsaw.
