I had a piece of re-barb get caught by a saw at work and it flung right past my head at deadly speed. Also when I was in that cave in Afghanistan

Rule number one always check the wood you are cutting first.

well we actually install hidden dog fences.  It involves a machine with a fast spinning blade that cuts the yard so a wire can be buried behind it and we use the rebar to hold the wire in place until it gets started.  So my co-worker was straightening something out underneath the blade then gave me the OK to start it once he was done.  I started the blade and it caught the rebar and flung it right past my head.  Needless to say I crushed him with a hulkbuster suit after that
