Phenomenally dangerous. My Mom insisted I did a two day safety and usage of chainsaws course before I used one. I had the time of my life!
If I was to summarize the two days safety into one sentance; I'd say NEVER have the bar in line with your face. It's not a case of "if it kicks back" but rather "when it kicks back". Stand slightly to the left of it with a relaxed but firm hold and if it kicks back the bar will go vertically by your right shoulder - not touching you, rather than getting you smack in the middle of your face.
