Dang Gary that sounds like ur pretty lucky to be alive then. A line of strippers tho woot. I would have acted like i couldn't breath and would have run over there and fallen over and been like quick i need mouth to mouth resuscitation, lol.
I was trimming some trees for my bro-in-law one time all by myself (which is against the law) and got a little over zealous trying to get this last little annoying branch cut and ended up putting a 5in gash in my leg FML. So then i had to climb down the tree and drive myself to the urgent care. Ended up with 37 stitches and a very sour leg. Anyhow i had a much greater respect for Chainsaws after that though so it wasn't a complete loss lol.
