Probably the most dangerous machine I have ever operated.
Big Chain saws IMHO are actually more dangerous because the blade is exposed. They can kick back or swing down and hit your leg. Which is why you really want to wear KEVLAR chaps when working in the woods with a chainsaw.
When I cut a tree down now I switch to my small battery operated saw to limb the log. That way you only have a 12” bar exposed instead of an 18-20” or more bar spinning.

I guess you have never seen a bale shredder.
