They gotta be about the most dangerous thing around , the potential for disaster is enormous and some peeps are way to casual about them .

Yep, the wounds can be terrible as they don’t cut into flesh, they rip and tear.
The wounds need to be thoroughly cleaned and there’s a terrible scar.

A young fella here in our town got kick back and a permanent scar down his face. He wished he was wearing a helmet with shield which is something I have at the back of my mind when the saws come out
