>Sadly there is a reason the chainsaws say "do not stop chain with genitals". Not only did someone probably do that, but the damages stuck.

This is very dependent on your jurisdiction. The USA's laws leave a lot more room for litigating in a way which I would deem frivolous than those of Canada. If you sell a chainsaw with safety features that adhere to common standards you should reasonably expect people not to try to stop it with their ballsack and a court of law that holds the manufacturer liable for moronic use of the object is a poorly designed court.
