<<Nails, yes, but it was my understanding that these were spikes, and I am also not certain of the size and unwieldiness of the saws used in such cases......>>

I've never broken a chain but I did have one jump out of the track and I really wanted to get away from it.

It's not the loggers who are injured by the spikes. It's in the mills where the teeth break off the blades and go flying. Some mills use band saws and they are made from spring steel which will snap and get real ugly.
