Ouch! Looks like he's in a bit of shock already. Good thing the chain looked like it had pretty much stopped spinning when it hit him or he would have been called 'Lefty'.

Some people just don't get the idea that dangerous tools and tasks need to be treated with care and respect...

There is also a reason why pros use climbing gear and not step ladders. He's lucky he didn't fall off the ladder at the same time.

Lucky , lucky bastard.

Just terrifying - from the step ladder to the technique, lack of PPE, this is going on in backyards everyday.

Even scarier there are so called "professionals" in our game that do this as well. I know a couple of crews on the Gold Coast who work this way everyday.

Be very careful who you work with and for people.
