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.

Everyone does something daft occasionally, even intentionally. Most of
us get away with it though.

Spare a thought for him and his family eh...

Many people do daft things. Those who have the right mental attitude to
safety do not. One of the biggest challenges to anyone responsible for
industrial safety is instilling that attitude into people.

Most of us get away with it though.


That demonstrates that you don't have the right mental attitude to safety.

If he has a family, that disqualifies him from the Darwin award.
