Morfoot VS Chainsaw

Seen it many times!

Next time I am going to have breakfast before I come on this site

Not sure why this popped into my head:

King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you stupid Bastard. You've got no arms left. Black Knight: Yes I have. King Arthur: *Look*! Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

Glad you have not done any serious damage and hope you heal up soon, just stay away from the dirty lake water for a while.

hey Tim,

I just caught up on your accident, thanks for grossing us out with those pictures, very glad you're on the mend. I've always felt like Lake water is the best cure all, so jump on in there.

Chuck

Ahhh Jessica....... I feel so used.

looks like a 272 xp   .    that leg and you were lucky , it got me thinking today about how lazy i am putting on my chaps,   on another note guys (this one from experience) when cutting a real leaner and you make your wedge cut. be very careful on the back cut. i once got careless and when i jumped on the back cut the tree spring boarded and split about 12 ft of its length the back half of the tree went by my head with enough force to pop my head off my neck i think.

Bruce, I had borrowed the saw from my Dad to cut down a big tree that died last fall as my lil' bitty Poulan 18" chainsaw wouldn't be able to do it. Here's whats left of the tree I originally borrowed it for.



Since I still had it and and buzzes thru limbs like no tomorrow I used it on a suckling branch that needed to come off. Unfortuntely for me it works good on human limbs too. I've recreated the accident in my mind and in the garage holding the saw as if I were using it and I have NO DOUBT that as it was spooling down from cutting a prior limb I raised my knee into the bottom of the saw. It lines up perfectly.

Here is the scene of the crime:

Tim D, nope no tendons cut. just got meat and fat. I was VERY lucky.

Mike, OMG I hope your son is okay, that hurts me just thinking about it. Prayers to your son and rest of the family.

Tom, Guess your right, If I'm gonna preach it guess I gotta live it.

Jeff, Tamara even hinted that it was her fault as if she would have gotten up off the couch and done something with Dad I wouldn't have cut myself.

John, I can hear it now..... "Oh look...Here comes Slash and Gash now!"

Keith, felt bad for you man after your knee surgery so I thought you could use some company on the dock or a full time spotter.

Greg, here's the guilty party and as you can see he's ready do do some more carnal damage. Upon closer inspection I did see some hair imbedded in a couple teeth but no hide.







Hollywood, Doc says I'm clear to get in the water in about 14 days when the stitches come out and she's all sealed up on the outside. Kneeboarding will be out for awhile and so are the inverts but guess I see here in a couple weeks.

Did hear a story from the triage nurse about a tree guy who came in the ER with a chainsaw incident at another hospital. The saw kicked back hit him in the groin area, grabbed his jeans and not only pulled the denim but ripped the entire hide off his 'Family Jewels'! They were all amazed that the saw just de-skinned him and didn't rip EVERTHING off.

BE CAREFUL out there guy's.

Tim, that is awful. Makes me want to leave mine on the shelf. I'm glad it wasn't worse. I hope you heal right up!

Tim, what the ????

I thought I was the only one with leg issues. So glad it wasn't worse. Heal quickly!

well got on FB this evening and whatdaya think the first post up is? Yep that picture.

take care and get it better soon.

Everybody on here Take Care..been a dangerous couple of weeks for FANS.

Tim,look on the bright side.....Chicks dig scars.

OUCH that's gonna leave a mark!!!
Some people should stick to fixen airplanes and/or trannys leave the chain saws to those professionals.

Tim that looks nasty. Very lucky that you did not go any deeper.

Heal quickly summer is almost here.

Tim! hope all is well, i have done professional tree work for over 30 years owning my own company for over 20 yrs i have seen that cut 2 times in my career, both do to stepping up into the turning chain with your leg. get a set of chaps my friend or ill send you a pair!

Tim! Holy COW! You are lucky.... a buddy of mine lost his leg because of a similar accident (mangled beyond repair). Glad you boys are safe and thanks for reminding us to BE CAREFUL! Whew!

BTW - Gonna be a great scar... Were his eyes closed? I could have closed that better in a dark barn on a fractious colt... a simple continuous as a skin closure? I'll fix it at The Masters.
