That was close, I had a close call years ago with a chainsaw.
It cost me a little skin on my elbow, looked like spaghetti hanging off my arm. I was lucky, just cut off the hanging skin and covered the cuts with a bandage and I was fine, no stitches. |

I have a set now that I'm old but I did a LOT of cutting [owned a firewood biz] when younger. One thing I NEVER did was walk around with a running saw and I was very picking on pruning limbs.
Saws don't even know when they hit meat. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When did chaps become "mandatory"? I remember cutting wood as a youngster and I don't remember them being a thing. "Mandatory" or not, I choose to wear them, just as I choose to wear safety glasses when shooting, a seatbelt when driving, and a helmet when riding my motorcycle. I'm a firm believer of "All The Gear, All The Time" (ATGATT) whenever my personal safety is involved. It may not seem "manly" to some of you, but it sure seems smart to me.

In my First wildland sawyer course, 2 dudes buried the saw in their chaps. Given how remote we were it would have likely been fatal for them as it was over the femoral artery.
Full PPE for saw work. |

I have a set of Stihl champs and a Stihl helmet. I started running a bow saw when I was 12. When I got older I got chaps first then a helmet. Never run a saw without them now. I will say other that hurricane clean up I try to do all my saw work in the fall/ winter when it's a bit cooler cuz chaps are hot

One time while sawing, the bar bounced and got into my inner leg (think femoral artery). I instantly thought “HOLY PHUC it got my artery and I’m gonna bleed out here in the woods!” I dropped my drawers in the woods to discover that it thankfully only pinched the skin just a bit. Thought I was a goner.
