PITTSBURGH (AP) — A tree trimmer is recovering after he was rushed to a Pittsburgh hospital with a chain saw blade embedded in his neck.

James Valentine was in a tree in Ross Township on Monday afternoon when he was struck in the neck by the saw. Another worker helped him down, and his co-workers left the saw in place to try to limit the bleeding.

I actually am surprised that more tree trimmers aren't maimed/killed.

The guy's real lucky.

I've never had a chainsaw embedded in my body but I have fought trees and running chainsaws to the hard ground.
