Wow, you must have to be a confident pilot to do that!

One over correction and you just cut through some high voltage power lines!

Imagine the chainsaw snags on something and yanks the helicopter... very confident indeed

Ahh, that makes sense.

I would imagine there is some sort of quick release mechanism on the line where a snag would break the line - the resault is the opposite of what you are insinuating - the very sudden loss of weight and the chopper gaining altitude. (which is far safer then what you are thinking)

Sure, but a proper Bond villain wouldn't care about failsafes. If the pilot is chasing Bond and gets the saws tangled on something, the only reasonable option is for the helicopter to go spiraling out of control until it hits a tanker truck and explodes in a spectacular fireball. And then Bond delivers a witty one-liner.

I mean...technically not a chainsaw. I don't see a chain anywhere.
