Thanks flung, I understood what caused the accident, but had not seen this video before. I wonder if that was the same kind of situation that caused the latest blackhawk accident.

Cheers

I seem to recall seeing this one before, wasnt it some sort of demonstration for the crowd? I'm sure someone will correct me?

I normally just use a much smaller, electric one and a hand saw.

Nowhere near as spectacular but it doesn't frighten the kids so much.
