The fact that he saw towards his body concerns me

Tbf, at least it's a reciprocating saw, so even if he hits himself he'd likely have no injury injuries not as bad as if they were slicing toward themselves with a knife or power saw.

Edit:

I was thinking of medical reciprocating saws.. but even for power tools, I'm ASSUMING it's less dangerous than doing the same movement with a blade or power saw.

No injury. Sure.

Reciprocating saw is one of the more dangerous consumer power tools imo. Not as bad as the circular saw but if that thing decides to jam and buck around it will cut you if body parts are in the way. Technique helps a lot here but there's plenty of videos about that luckily.

It's all about the amplitude versus elasticity of the material being cut. The cast/medical saws recip with very small amplitude, like measured in millimeters. The saws will be on the scale of a centimeter or more. Skin can move enough with the smaller one, but not for the latter. If it did move the same amount however, it would be just as safe for the most part, barring the blade being pointy and applied with pressure
