The saw looks like it's running well! One thing that I see and worry about is that as you're pulling it backwards, you have to step over the platform log and the cross brace. If you trip on either, there's a chance you'd hold tight to the saw and pull it over on top of you. Or as you fall, kick a leg up into the saw.  I'd be tempted to use a rope to pull on so that you're a few feet further away from the saw as you draw it back.  You might even be able to pull it sideways or while facing the direction you're traveling if you have a few feet of space.  I borrow a very similar sawmill from time to time and it has a 3' long arm that you can swing out and use for that purpose (both pushing and pulling). I can't remember if this sawmill has that...
