Usually I like posts here… like the reddit name says “funny”… This one just made me sick to my stomach. That kid using a bloody chainsaw to cut the grass, swaying it back and forth on uneven ground. No eye protection. No boots. Just massive misuse of equipment. Can’t see the funny.
Funny thing about chainsaws.
Normally, the chain at the top of top bar is moving away from you; good for cutting branches from the bottom up.
The chain on the bottom of the bar is moving towards you, good for cutting branches from the top down and tree trunks down completely.
The chain at the tip of the bar is moving downward very quickly, and if you ever touch it to a branch or trunk, it can hurl the entire machine up at your face.
THAT is why it is equipped with a chain brake, so if this happens, at least the blade is not still moving when it hits you in the face.
I heard from an ophthalmologist friend once, that he was called to the hospital to remove a tooth from behind someone’s eye. (The chain break did not engage)
If the person demonstrating their chainsaw prowess here were to touch the tip of the chainsaw against say a fence, or property marker, it would whip around and… still moving… make a mess of his Achilles tendon.
My back hurts watching this
I feel like this is how one loses digits.
When all you have is a chainsaw everything looks like a tree.
At least a man’s not barefoot
Heh sometimes I just use the whipper snipper to do the lawn versus push a mower. It gets the job done. I would recommend shoes though.
Probably pressure washes his clothes.
Just get a scythe and stand up straight at least.
Chainsaws were actually invented for C-sections, so this is incredibly feminine
Thanks, i hate it
Pffft. Real men use scissors
You think kickback when cutting wood is rough just wait till this guy makes contact with the wrong rock or ground. Bye legs!
I feel like he should cut hair.
I had a neighbour from Mexico who cut his grass with a machete. I watched him do his whole lawn in about half an hour or so. Looked good, too.
Coming soon to “What Could Go Wrong”
I checked to see if this was NSFW. I expected a red mist and him rolling on the ground.
Pretty soon he’s gonna be known as Toeless Joe. 😱
Looks like a good way to lose a foot…
My guy is the Chainsawman
The chainsaw works better because you can buy new chains at the store instead of learning how to sharpen a scythe.
Three Toe Johnny is the man!
I wonder how many safety experts passed out watching this video …..
This is the equivalent of being too lazy to get the mop. So you use 37 segments of paper towels instead.
If he hits the tip of that saw on a rock or a post, he will get bitten. There is no worse wound than a chain saw bite.
My back hurts just watching this
This is how you develop back problems in your 30s
When all you have is a chainsaw, everything is a tree.
Bonus: You have an extremely high chance of getting mortally wounded!
This seems like an easy way to lose a toe. Or a leg
18 seconds of waiting for that chainsaw to catch something and take off a foot

Improvise, adapt, overcome.
Hey, if it works…
the real chainsaw man
His grass looks better than my house.
This is why women live longer than men – his back is going to be so sore tomorrow he’s likely to be in a worse mood and make irrational choices!
It’s not stupid if it works.

If it looks stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid.
