Had the chain pop/break loose of the bar a number of times when I was working a red pine plantation back in my younger days - thank GOD for Kevlar leggings 😱
Glad you weren’t hurt. Husband was very very experienced with chainsaws - but you can never, ever be too careful. He didn’t tell me about it until much later, but it scared him as well, he could have very easily been killed.
Stay safe, FRiend.
