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.
