bottom line is that a chainsaw is no more inherently dangerous than anything else so long as you use it properly and have the right gear and training - my accident was more to do with the way the trees were hung up than with the saw and would have probably happened even if i had been using a handsaw or an axe.

btw feeling has returned to my left hand now and the arm only aches a bit , thanks for the good wishes every body

oh and julie - get a petrol driven hedge cutter , or a rechargeable one - they are much safer to use.
