Having heated with wood exclusively for more than 27 yrs I can relate. I've known of at least a couple of old peckerwood loggers that had used chain saws since they were invented or the end of WWII whichever came first. One cut a tree completely free at the stump as it fell into the fork of another. The kick-back broke his neck instantly. He was found cold in the woods by family. The other, almost as bad, lived (not too well) to later tell his tale.

My own milisecond of "duh!" allowed the still turning chain to shred my trousers and tear into the calf before coasting to a stop.

Heal soon and be wiser next time--you are blessed.
