Unfortunate chainsaw accident
Unfortunate chainsaw accident cutting into the palm of the hand and forearm. "As I was chogging off a section of one of the stem, cutting holding the saw with my left hand and pushing the section with my right hand to stop it from pinching the saw. The section broke away, as planned and expected, but my left hand with the running saw rose up and I didn't move my right hand away quickly enough resulting in a mid air contact!The tip of the saw cut into the palm of my hand and down my wrist towards the underside of my forearm. Came down for the first aid kit, but once I took my glove off quickly realised there wouldn't be enough plasters in the box to cover it and a trip to A&E was called for. Still thought after a couple of stitches I would be back on site in time to help the lads out cleaning up. Sadly it wasn't as simple as that and I ended up in hospital for four days, requiring an operation to clean up and repair the damage." .
