Hurriedly walked (OK, ran) with a chainsaw to get out from under a dropping tree. Tripped and fell face down; the saw landed blade-first in the dirt a foot or two in front of my face. The chain stopped turning after it embedded in the dirt. It could have been in me.

Started using the tractor and log chains to assure controlled tree falls after that.
