Absolutely. Chainsaws are amazing tools, but also can cause amazing
damage given one second of complacency.

I know. After years of working with woodworking tools (routers,
planers, table saws, etc.) I've developed a remarkable respect for
whirling metal things.

My 16 year old son begged me to let him try the chain saw, and I
eventually relented -- but not till after a 10 minute lecture on
safety.

He did fine -- but it was like watching Mary sky-dive... Not good for
the digestion.
