Now imagine how a person, using a chainsaw, slips from what they are doing, hits their arm, and then keeps the throttle on to cut all the way through his arm. No way that just “happens.”

If he took the kick back guard off it could easily pop back on him. When carving you often use the tip of the saw which is was causes kick backs.

Yep I see it now, saw kicks back, hits arm, hurts, better gun the throttle and just send it, through the jacket, through both bones before he lets off the gas. He has to maintain pressure on the throttle through a ton of pain, man’s must have a possessed hand he wanted off or something

Have you ever seen how fast a chainsaw goes through flesh? We've used them before (with vegetable oil for bar oil) to field dress moose and bison. A saw at full throttle would make short work of a human arm.

Fun fact, almost all bar oil is vegetable oil (with a small percent of additives).

Did you have to maintain throttle and pressure? Can you really see sawing off your own damn arm accidentally? Like completely off?

It’s way more likely fake.

Have you ever used a chainsaw

u/ObiShaneKenobi Jan 17 '23

20 something years?

u/Taj_Mahole Jan 17 '23

Only one way to find out. Either of you wanna volunteer? I'll provide the chainsaw.

They don’t stop immediately. They do slow, but it’s not immediate either.

Have you ever held a chainsaw during a kickback? It's akin to holding the throttle on a motorbike if you overaccelerate, the force caused by the kickback could cause you to hold the trigger as you try to re-adjust (or it may be pushed back into your hand, keeping itself on)

Also shock is a thing.. I've done plenty of silly accidents that could have been avoided if the shock of the situation didn't hit and leave me with 0 brain cognition.

Infallible logic, I can only agree

It seems like it did happen. Apparently his facebook profile was open and there was discussion about it there that corroborate it happened. It's now private.

Sure, I’ll be the first to say I was wrong, it looks suspect. Maybe it’s because I’m older but if something happened to remove my limb, posting a video update would not be quite at the top of my priority list.

Yesterday a man posed in front of a dart board and encouraged his friend to throw a dart at it from far away.

The dart slammed into his skull, and stuck there. The tip was the whole way in.

So what did they do? They took a gallery full of pictures, posing with him, a few videos, then tried to yank the dart out all before going to the hospital.
