  1. This is nothing to a common handheld chainsaw with kickback. IF you accidentally get kickback on a chainsaw, the entire saw can jump over your head. I know this is true because an instructor was showing us young guys what 'not to do' once, and he said the kickback (of it flying over his head) was so bad that he said he will never show what not to do, again. Your bench saw 'kickback' definitely did not show the full intensity of kickback on the angle of a cutting blade. I found this video to be therefore lacking in its concern. It sometimes cuts the other part of the timber? Who cares, as 'kickback' actually KICKS the chainsaw so far BACK it seems to even defy gravity itself!
