runaway saw blade

It was curiosity that prompted James & Rachel Gayhart to look at the images caught by their home security system. They were curious why the temporary patch at the end of their Lorain street wasn’t finished.

As they looked on the tape, which played back in fast speed, they noticed a worker walking up their driveway at one point, but little else.

It was when they watched in slow speed they uncovered the amazing sight of the blade detaching from the saw, spinning uncontrolled up the driveway and into their neighbor’s home.

“Two more feet to the west and it would have hit that gas meter on the side of their house,” said Rachel Gayhart. “And a couple of feet more it would have went into my garage.”

On the tape, the worker is seen looking around to see if anyone saw what happened, then retrieving the blade, checking it out and reattaching it. He then finished his work and left.

The blade left about a 3-foot gash in the home next door to the Gayhart’s. That home, they say, has been vacant for a year.
