Some years ago (about 12) a report showed that the biggest single accidental killer of professional pilots in the USA that year had been chainsaw accidents. The report pointed out that many pilots were affluent enough to own a bit of land, had time on their hands, were fit and vigorous enough to want to take on the job of clearing their land, and didn't have the first clue about the dangers of chainsaws.
