The sort of incident you might expect when using a chainsaw, but
just to remind you of what can go wrong with a circular saw:

Anyone who gets killed by using a circular saw while standing on a
ladder is a prime candidate for a Darwin award.



It worrying that some circular saws can lock the switch on, so if you
have to drop it because of a graceful fall off the ladder, it doesn't
stop the motor itself.

A blade guard is paramount on cirular saws, and I would never buy one
without this.
