<<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.

Chain saws [of the time] will not cut through heavy steel. It stops'em cold. [ BTW we used the big unwieldy saws even had a two man saw ] An old or loose chain could break but it does not fly around just stays in the cut. I suspect that the reason that this never was made too public was that the lumber co.'s probably said injury was possible We all know that anything "could" happen....You in fact "could" write in B C for president this time around, could you not?...This is about the same likely hood of some one getting injured in the manner discussed In my [experienced] opinion. If one logger had so much as a scratch from this we would never have heard the end of it.....Properganda...all sides take advantage of any such opportunities
