Looks like you could get to the back side, anyway.

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Seems like there is always an audience when stuff like this happens.
I was at Booneville several yrs ago and the WM guy was sawing and forgot to lower the rear toe board. (not that I have EVER done this.)
About 2 dozen folks watching.

then you turn to the folks and say " i did that to show you what not to do and how to fix it if you do"
"let the machines do the work"

I keep thinking there has to be a way to wire in a LED to a micro switch on the toe board which lets you know when they are up.
