   @lattera @lcamtuf from what I've heard it's the new electric ones that are super dangerous. I've heard they have crazy torque (surprise). Maybe they should put a fake pull start mechanism on them haha

     @feld @lattera Battery chainsaws have relatively little torque, because there's not much room for a beefy motor once you accommodate the battery. But they spin the chain fast and have very narrow chains to make up for less power, though. I guess this might make it easier to chew through protective gear.

     But they also stop on a dime, while gas engines have a fair amount of momentum, so on balance, I think they're safer...
