Phil Duggan, 53, from Dearham, was chopping wood in his storage container in Maryport in March when his left arm got caught in the saw he was using.
Phil quickly shut down the machine before calling for help.
He said: “They did a video call to assess the nature of the damage and what medical assistance was needed. After the young lady saw the footage on the phone, they immediately dispatched GNAAS.” He said: “At the initial accident I'd lost a litre of blood in five minutes, I was literally bleeding to death. The emergency services were amazing and it was due to the speed of the aircrew being dispatched and getting me to Preston that saved my life.
Phil spent three days in hospital and is now undergoing physiotherapy to help rehabilitate his arm. He said: “It's just going to take time and a lot of pain and discomfort, but I understand that because the damage has been horrific. It's torn the arm muscle, but it’s also torn the shoulder right down to my fingers, so I'm literally rebuilding my entire left arm.
