On reddits r/winstupidprizes, they often feature videos of chainsaw kick-backs. It is when the saw, instead of cutting, uses all the force in the chain to push back - it is very unnerving seeing this happen to people without gear, even if they are lucky and don't get hit.
Kick-back is something that makes sense when you read about it, but you probably wouldn't think about if you just picked up a chainsaw.

- AuryGlenz 7y agoAs far as I’m aware there isn’t really any equipment that’ll help with kickback, other than a built in kickback bar. A full face shield might help, I suppose. My dad had a coworker that had a kickback accident on the job. It apparently cut all the way to his carotid or jugular - as in, one more millimeter and he would have been a goner.
