Almost standard equipment for landscapers and timber framers since they cut large timbers all of the time.

I wonder what injury would occur if that thing kicked back.

I think you & the saw do a back flip.

It's an interesting tool. I've used them before. Not as exciting as you'd think.
Lots of torque action on startup and shutdown. It would turn me about 90 degrees. The gyroscopic effect is quite substantial. That's probably the single biggest difficulty with handling the saw.
It's not particularly powerful. Not with a blade of that diameter. You cut slowly and gently, and take your time. It will bog down and stall quite easily.
Kickback was non-existant. It would stall, but it never tossed itself. I'm sure I could have worked out a way to make it kick. But conventional sized circular saws were much more prone to it.

It's Photo Shopped. The guy's a midget.
Like has been noted, HD sells them as do most decently sized woodworking tool stores.
There's been a few (darned few) times when I could've used one.
