Prague - A 32-year-old Czech tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a chain saw but survived after the machine missed his jugular artery and got stuck in his spine, a report said on Wednesday.
This was his second suicide attempt, CTK news agency reported. He had earlier tried to hang himself from a tree branch but the branch snapped and he broke both legs in the fall, it said.
The man was taken to a Prague hospital and was recovering in an intensive care unit, hospital officials said.
Family problems were the likely reason for his suicide attempts, CTK reported. His first suicide attempt came after his wife threatened to divorce him and take their daughter with her.

First I tried hangin', but that fell through,
Then I use a chainsw, but it went askew,
Now I'm a-wonderin' how to finish the job,
This hobby of mine sure is macabre,
Maybe my next attempt won't go snafu.

Reminds me of a movie I saw once where the guy kept trying to commit suicide and failing.Perhaps it was Burt Reynolds in The End (1978)?

Its obvious he didnt have his chain saw blade tight enough.
I do feel sorry for the guy. He must be in alot of pain inside and now outside as well. Hope he gets some help.
To: flitton
Third time a charm, I've heard.

Not to be too picky, but there is no Jugular Artery. There is an external jugular vein and an internal jugular vein. There is a common carotid artery, an internal carotid artery and an external carotid artery, but not Jugular Artery. And I would not want this fellow anywhere near a bris.
