The chain is broken which if it had kept running it would have kept cutting. Impressive radiograph.

They cut the chain to get it off the saw. It wasn’t broken when the accident occurred.

The bar will be reusable, but that chain is junk since they cut it. It was really close to the end of it’s life anyway. Hope the motor is OK, rescue types aren’t very nice to stuff like that, probably lost the nuts that hold the bar on, too.
