i have a 5x8 utilty trailer with 4ft plywood walls ringed with 2x4 i load with the 4500 and take to the dump. Late saturday afternoon was wrk'in to get 2nd run to dump in b4 it closed at 4. Cutting 6 to 8" thick pine limbs down to under 5ft long to lay in trailer so when i get to dump i can remove back wall of trailer and roll them out. Well i got the trailer about 2/3's deep and i am standing on these logs cutting one about 15 ft long that is resting over sided of trailer. Cut it down to size, drop down into trailer. Pull limb over side again and repeat intil limb done. Well i goto pull in some more of this limb that is hanging over the left side. Kill chainsaw, place it In very front of trailer. I grab a branch on this limb, my back to right side of trailer, standing in about the middle of trailer. Yank, yank, not moving so i give a real good pull. Snap. I go stumbling back a few feet branch in right hand. While trying to gain footing think "ur going over the side!" Immediately bent my knees to get down low and i hit the side right behind my knees and over i go. Luckily my reflexes from my youth must of kicked in because as i fell butt first down over side i managed to grab the rail with my left hand. This caused the dropping back flip i was in to stop and i went into a right barrell roll. Came down on my right side rolling over onto my stomach. Once i hit the ground i did a complete roll and ended on face down legs towards front of trailer rest on my forearms. A bit stunned but unhurt i got up and went back to work. Sunday AM my left arm did feel like a wookie tried to pull it off but it was usable. All i can think is all those summers in suburbia flipping over fences while "pool hopping" thru the neighbors yards in a instance came back and saved me. Other wise it would have been a header on the rip rap on edge of the gravel drive. Pete
