Title: Man dies from chainsaw explosion
Post by: MScott on November 18, 2017, 09:35:43 PM

To sum it up- A chainsaw exploded on a 68 year old man while he was using it. He suffered "85% full thickness burns" and died.

Man, that's too bad. Not much info given on the cause.
Not sure how you can get an explosion from a saw. Maybe he was he working on it inside and fuel vapors ignighted?
