And this is why They sell Kevlar chaps in chainsaw shops
Was clearing some bamboo with the chainsaw yesterday and as it was quite warm and sticky so decided to forego the kevlar chainsaw chaps, I mean what could possibly go wrong ?
Well lets just say it wasn't the smartest decision I've ever made and could have very easily gone hideously wrong.
All in all a very lucky escape that could have ended quite differently. Yeah the chaps aren't cheap but what price to pay for walking on two legs ?

very lucky. Chaps are cheaper than legs.

Glad to see you’re okay. Thanks for the warning. I was wearing my chaps yesterday in the rain but a couple of times didn’t bother with the goggles or gloves - good reminder that things can go wrong.

Ouch. Glad it wasn't something serious.
I really need to invest in gear now. I've only just started wearing goggles while clearing weeds which was stupid of me.

I write a load of bollocks, don't take me seriously.

Thanks man, it was a bloody stupid mistake and not going to risk it again no matter how hot it gets
Thank you. Things like this are a lucky reminder not to skip on the safety kit before something more serious happens, funnily enough I was like the opposite of you and had the helmet and gloves on but thought it too humid for the chaps.

Thanks man. Honestly get some safety kit. It can only take a split second to seriously ruin your day, a small stone flicked up whilst using a kusakariki or a sliver of bamboo stuck in your eye, let alone a chainsaw cutting you.DocDoesFarming wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 7:59 pmOuch.
