How many people go about decapitating themselves with chainsaws? Now how many people would use a chainsaw to decapitate someone else?
If the answer is a large number to either of those questions, we're royally screwed.

You gotta hold the safety and the trigger.hiberNative wrote:

How the hell can you cut your own head with a chainsaw...i mean witout using some sort of mechanism to make it continue the cutting once you severed the spine and cant move or your already dead half way...
put chainsaw above neck
let gravity take care of the remaining inches after losing consciousness.
I say usmarine did it.
As gruesome as it is, I'd be interested in knowing the mechanics of how he managed the job.
Did he zip tie the trigger and just lay down on the saw? I need Dr. Baden.

I was gonna say "Bullshit, ain't possible", but then I read this - two separate reports of self-decapitation by chainsaw can't both be bullshit, can they?
im thinking not too many people here have used a chainsaw...

I'd like to know if it was a two-stroke or an electric.
A two-stroke uses a throttle and clutch. At idle the centrifugal clutch is disengaged, the chain is not driven. with throttle, the clutch engages and the chain goes to work.
An electric saw usually has a safety that must be pressed before the trigger can be operated. the safety is usually integrated into the grip and is engaged when the properly held.

see, the chainsaw has a trigger on it, which provides power to turn it. now, when you get it going full speed, the energy it has created from rotating so quickly stays with it. so when you let go of the trigger, it doesnt instantly stop. i have read about people accidentally sawing through their fucking KNEE before they could react.
chainsaws are REALLY dangerous, and one of the only tools that i use that i truly fear.
if i can saw through six inch thick tree branches in a few seconds, imagine what it would do to a neck.
edit:
if you get it going full speed and hammer down on your neck, by the time you released the trigger and safety the damage will have been done.Reciprocity wrote:

at least, from my experience...i mean, cutting tress, not necks lol

bones are harder than wood, and as it slows down it would be FAR more likely to simply bounce off the bones, especially since the force normally provided by arms disappears, leaving only the weight of the chainsaw to provide downward forceParker wrote:

that's why, forensically, I'd be interested in knowing the details of the act. the type of drive, the size if the blade. Whether he set up a mechanism to help the act, or, if through sheer detirmination he decapitated himself. did he rush through the spine first while the saw had the most power? or did he go throat first, and hope it was enough to do the job? was he sitting, standing, kneeling, laying down?Parker wrote:

we are talking about the spine. pieces of bone that are held together by muscles....not solid bone.
second, the throat is THE most vulnerable area for a human.
this is a reference i use when making fighting knives. it explains pretty clearly the damage that can be done to the throat with minimal contact.

Are you people sure he didn't just use cable ties to hold the switch/es and/or button/s down and just lay his neck on top? Surely that would be the easiest way...

He must have missed the safety label.
But seriously, what a manly way to kill yourself.
