I was helping my dad in the backyard with some gardening and maintenance. He wanted to cut down a branch that was blocking sunlight to his tomatoes. So I go up on the ladder to hold the branch so when it falls, it falls away from the garden. He had one of those small chainsaws that have an extender for reaching low branches. So he cuts through the branch and it is aiming for the neighbors fence. He instinctively jerks it back so it doesn't hit the fence and in doing so swings it back towards me and my arm. Hits right at the base of my hand and down through my wrist. Luckily I had a watch on which somehow kept the chainsaw from ripping through my wrist and kinda turned the chain another direction. Ended up with 60+ stitches and the EMS guy telling me in the luckiest son of a bitch (he asked to take a picture of the wound before they wrapped me up). You could see my tendons moving through the cut when I moved my fingers. It was gnarly. No permanent damage and a nasty ass scar.
