Video: Runaway Saw Blade Damages House

In a torts case, the chain of causation is rarely captured on videotape, but this film shows a runaway street blade looking for a tort.

The film was taken on a home security camera in Lorain, Ohio.

What is interesting is that the worker appears to look around for witnesses and the incident does not appear to have been reported.

  2. How did that happen? On wood saws, the arbor nut is threaded so that the spinning of the blade TIGHTENS the nut to hold the blade in place. I wonder if the nut was even in place on this saw…

    I’ve never run a concrete saw, but I am around them pretty often on construction sites. Now I know where NOT to stand in relation to them!
