lol. A few points. Chainsaws arent that heavy, and if not doing any heavy continuous cutting, a petrol one will last all day. Heavy cutting they cut for about 5hrs. I did a lot of forrestry when I was younger, and manhandling a chainsaw all day isnt too big a deal. Trying to blind your attacker, hot water, salt, sand, anything to aggravate the eyes, and limiting his movement/chance to chase you is the way I would go for it.
Just for fun Play the Dreamcast/Xbox game "Shenmue 2". You get attacked by a woman carrying a chainsaw, and get to fight her using a short piece of scaffold piping. But yeah, I'd say run. Run run run run run, infact. Hope this helps James
Parkour would be pretty good against a guy with a chainsaw actually. Asside from the obvious advantages, you can also confuse the hell outta him Parkour is actually a pretty useful skill to have on the streets
yeah or use a chair or some medium weight object to deflect it and grab the handle of the chainsaw while simultaneously gougeing his eyes or at least slam his chin hard as i can with a palm rocking him backwards or a few knee's to the groin if im working it out of his hand with both hands i could do a shin scrape or two.. i dunno.. if i had the option though I would definitely run.
Whether or not you die would mostly depend on whether or not you manage to pull the technique off And even then it might not work. If the guy had a tea towel rather than a chainsaw, I'd fancy the chances more
I'm under the impression that if one was to hit the chain with a pipe of some kind the mangled metal would auto stall the chainsaw, so some from of relatively long metal object to ruin the chain.
