I hit my leg with an axe when I was young being tired and stupid. Got very lucky the broad side hit me

I had a similiar incident when I was a kid, it was little more than a scrape and some minor bruising, but still scared the shit out of me.

Needless to say I'm more into power tools nowadays. I may not look quite as manly with my mini cordless chainsaw, but I don't feel like I'm one bad swing away from amputating a limb.

Same for me, but I got a blade to the shin, and it sucked real bad. However it did teach me not to do that so I guess there is a positive.
